Romfea.gr has reported news from Metropolitan Benedict of Philadelphia that a three month old boy was healed by St. Nektarios in Jordan.
The three month old boy was very sick with a collapsed lung and had entered into intensive care to be supported with oxygen. The parents were informed by doctors that there was no hope for their son.
When the Metropolitan heard of this, he sent a priest named Fr. Nektarios to visit the boy, as well as all the sick of the hospital, every Saturday. To every sick person he would give the Holy Gospel, the life of St. Nektarios and oil from the vigil lamp of the Saint.
The Metropolitan had asked that the boy with the collapsed lung be specifically anointed with the oil from St. Nektarios, and the miracle was almost immediate! He was completely healed that day and the next day returned home with his parents in perfect health.
The boys parents, in gratitude to St. Nektarios, decided to name their child after his healer - St. Nektarios the Wonderworker.
Later the Metropolitan himself visited the family and gave them his blessing. Metropolitan Benedict has made the name of St. Nektarios famous in Jordan with the church built dedicated to him. Another recorded seven miracles attributed to St. Nektarios have also been performed in Jordan.

My Comments are from Australia. Darwin. We are Greek Cypriots now living in Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteMy family had two experiences with St Nektarios.
Story 1.
My dad was sick in the late 60s with kidney stones and in severe pain. Diagnosis and operations were not not that advanced esp. in very small town. We lived in Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory outback, Australia. Population during the time would have been about 45,000 people. Dad was due for an operation but prior to that he was having some form of cupping done by an Eastern European lady. After the operation my mum saw a dream whereby she was thanking the lady who was doing the natraupathic cupping on my dad. In mum's dream, The lady turned around and said in these exact words: "It is not I who made your husband well, but 'St Nektarios'". My mum awoken and confused did not know what this dream meant and has never heard of St Nektarios. As she was a religious woman she relayed the story back to a Greek friend. The friend went almost white and had goose bumps. She said to my mum "You see that photo of a saint up on the wall, that is St Nektarios". She said to my mu:you just experienced a miracle from St Nektarios. My mum has been a devotee to our wonderful Saint ever since.
Mum was given the address of the Ministry of St Nektarios in Ageana, Greece by this friend, and they sent her paper Icons of our wonderful saint. Mum has been writing since and often receives little bottles of his blessed oil. (Kadele).
To make this even more unbelievable yet true story is another event; which takes me to our second experience with this wonderful saint.
Story 2.
In 1974 we were hit by a cyclone, on midnight Xmas eve. Cyclone Tracey. We had an upstairs house on stilts. The cyclone was visoucous and went from midnight to 5am in the morning Xmas day with a 200km an hour wind. During this whole traumatising event 5 and a half hours, my parents and brother remained in the bathroom. My dad left the bathroom a few hours earlier and went to his bedroom to smash some windows to allow the air in so it wont suck the whole house out and blow it away. As he did this he caught the door handle and fell back into the hall way. At this point he saw the roof fly off the whole house, the two side walls of his bedroom fly out and all the furniture, clothes sucked out into the air. There was also a built in wardrobe in that room which closed only by a curtain. The curtain and clothes also were blown and sucked out.
At around 5:30am the cyclone stopped. My parents went throughout the house and saw that there were no furniture items, absolute nothing. They went into the master bedroom where dad had seen the walls and everything blown and sucked out. Well to their dismay the built in wardrobe that had the curtain blown away including all clothes, stood a piece of paper Icon of St Nektarios which mum had placed there in one of the open drawers of the cupboard which she had received in the mail EXACTLY on that Xmas eve morning.
We believe that our wonderful Saint was our saviour on Xmas Eve midnight 1974. We could hardly believe to our astonishment that a very small 4"x4" light weight piece of paper that had his picture on it stood erect up against the wall inside one of the open drawers that was in the wardrobe. Everything that was solid in there, tin full of coins, 24 encylapaedia books, clothes all had disappeared except this beautiful piece of paper icon that bares his picture.
With love to our wonderful saint and may all miracle and experiences be published.
