On the 2nd of April 2007 , a person
who lives in Deir-El-Kamar asked me to go with him to Jezzine to a tile
factory. I accepted his invitation. I had never been to Jezzine before. When we reached the tile factory, I noticed
the owner of the factory working on a big altar. I asked him how much such an altar would
cost.
He answered,
"Honestly father, I didn't calculate the expenses. It's a votive offering
and I want to finish it quickly."
We left the factory
and headed to another one. On our way, I said loudly, "I wish someone who
has a votive offering would present us with an altar for the shrine."
I looked up to the sky
and prayed, "Oh Virgin, isn't there anyone who has a votive offering that
could present to us an altar?"
We reached the second
factory. My friend bought the goods he
needed and then we strolled outside the factory. The owner looked at me and asked, "And
you father, what do you want?"
By coincidence, we
were passing by an altar so I asked him how much such an altar would cost. He answered, "Father, this is a present
for you." I was overwhelmed with
joy because the Virgin had answered my prayer.
The altar was
delivered on the 17th
of April 2007 .
