Episode 56
In Washington, DC in1824, Ann Mattingly, a Catholic widow, suffered terribly from a debilitating and horribly painful cancer. A priest friend who came to her bedside wrote to a German priest who was known as a miracle worker. Many trans-Atlantic letters later, Mass was offered at the same time and specific prayers were prayed over Mrs. Mattingly, and suddenly her cancer, and pain, were gone.
