WE KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT IT WAS A MIRACLE DONE BY ST. PIO

A TestimonyBy Rikki Marcial Francisco, 14 years old23 June 2011 

My name is Rikki Marcial Francisco; I have been having stomach pains since December 2010.

Then my mom brought me to my pediatrician and I underwent a series of tests. Unfortunately, they were all negative. Time went by and my stomach still hurt and I was losing weight.

My mom was getting worried and she brought me to the school’s pediatrician. She told me to drink some vitamins. Even then the vitamins didn’t do anything to ease the pain so I went through a series of tests again. They were also negative. We suspected it was hyperacidity so my mom bought me medicine for it but it was also not effective.

A couple of months passed and my mom brought me to a gastroenterologist. After going thru another set of tests, they found that there were a lot of feces in my colon. After holy week, I got confined in the hospital for five days. During that time I went through more tests but they could not identify what was wrong with me. They had to do a CT scan to find out what the problem was.

Once we got the results, we were shocked to find out that my colon was inflamed and I needed to be confined again and undergo colonoscopy and biopsy.

Before I was confined we went to St. Pio Chapel to pray for my recovery. The day after that I was back in the hospital to prepare for the tests. During the colonoscopy, the doctor performing it was shocked to see that my colon was clean, clear and had nothing unusual in it.

We knew it right away that it was a miracle done by St. Pio. When I was out of the hospital, we went back to the St. Pio Chapel to pray and thank St. Pio for what he did.
