Saint Luke the Surgeon of Simferopol
I wanted to share something with you all that you might appreciate. I’m catholic but feel myself drawn to the orthodox faith and go to liturgy when I can. Months ago when my son was about six months old he was diagnosed with a rare disease. I won’t go into it too much, but it was a scary time and I didn’t know what to expect. Most children grow out of it by the time they enter adolescence, and it’s fairly benign, but it increases the risk of certain complications and also involves being covered in hive-like spots all over the trunk. I prayed to Saint Luke for his intercession that my son would have a mild case or that he would be healed… and months later he is completely spotless. Multiple doctors have described it as literally “miraculous.” It is just unheard of that babies so young grow out of this disease. They’ve never seen anything like it, and these are top notch doctors in their field. I truly believe that through Saint Luke’s intercession my son was healed.
