'I stood up. A miracle had happened. I could walk. It was as if I was born again.'
With a heart full of prayer, Marion Carroll journeyed to Knock in the west of Ireland. For 17 years, Multiple Sclerosis had ravaged her body so utterly that this reluctant pilgrim travelled on a stretcher. Then, at the Mass, an unimaginable miracle. Marion rose, pain-free, to walk, talk and see once more.
Thanks to this wondrous blessing, Marion has transformed - in her 'own small way' - the lives of countless others. Her ministries share her rock-like faith and devotion to God. They testify to the power of ordinary people to listen, to care, to inspire.
Nearly 30 years later, the Catholic Church officially recognised Marion's cure as a proclaimed miracle. Here, with warmth, grace, humility - and down-to-earth Irish humour - she tells of her life 'before' and 'after'. Marion's powerful, uplifting story is unique. It shines a light on love, hope and a remarkable relationship with God. A native of Roscommon John Scally is the author of over 50 books. These include the bestselling Great GAA Rivalries; 101 Great GAA Teams and 101 Great GAA Controversies. He is a two time winner of the McNamee Award for best programme on national radio on a GAA theme. An inspirational true story of an extraordinary modern miracle. With humour and grace, Marion tells the incredible, moving story of her life and that of her family before and after her miracle cure. In a world filled with bad news Marion Carroll's story gives hope and inspiration to us all.
