The Secret of Healing

A monk had just returned from a long st at one of the most celebrated healing shrines in europe. There he acquired a small fragment of the true cross set in a ring that dated back to the middle ages. The son then gave the monk a free will offering of the equivalent of 500 dollars. When the son showed his father the ring, the older man practically snatched it from him. He clasped the ring to his chest, prayed silently and went to sleep. In the morning, he was healed. Healings of this sort happen all the time.
