16 B L E S S E D S T A N I S L A U S P A P C Z Y N S K I My health began to improve very fast I was ill and unable to work, suffering from many different ailments. A medical examination brought bad news. Doctors predicted a long period of treatments, also involving a hospital stay. My husband, however, would not hear about any treatments and became very rude to me. Meanwhile, my illness continued for two years and was getting worse. I found myself in a hopeless situation. I thought of stopping the sporadic treatments alto- gether. My future seemed unclear. My husband was very angry with me and did not want to pay for the medicine. He was still treating me badly. Being completely resigned to my plight, I went to church. I think that it was December 8 — the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. After Mass, I was still sitting in the church, feeling very ill and tired, and thinking of my future. Suddenly, I noticed a prayercard in the pew. It included a novena prayer to the Venerable Servant of God, Stanislaus Papczynski. With hope and trust, I began to pray this novena — first at the church, and then at home. And everything started to change for the better. First, peace and trust in the Lord came to me. I found that I was not nervous or desperate anymore. Then my health began to improve very fast. Finally, the tests showed good results. Gradually, even my husband changed.
