"Jesus Restored My Career, Reputation and Family Life Through the Kreupasanam Udampadi"
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
I am Dr. Caroline Paulson, an ophthalmologist working in Dubai. Today, with a heart full of gratitude, I wish to share the wonderful interventions that the Lord granted me through the intercession of our Blessed Mother at Kreupasanam.
A few years ago, I was going through one of the most difficult periods of my professional life. I was employed in a reputed clinic in Dubai where the management constantly pressured doctors to generate more revenue. Along with this pressure, the surgical equipment provided for eye surgeries was inadequate and unreliable.
As an eye surgeon, this situation deeply troubled me. During that period, two of my patients developed complications following surgery. Although other doctors helped manage the situation, the incidents affected me emotionally and professionally. My confidence was shaken, and my reputation as a doctor suffered greatly.
At that time, one of my friends, Dr. Jolsna, introduced me to the Kreupasanam Udampadi prayer movement. Feeling helpless and burdened, I joined the Online Udambadi in February 2025 and later came personally to Kreupasanam and made the Pilgrim Udampadi on July 4, 2025.
Around the same time, I attended several job interviews hoping for a better opportunity, but none of them were successful. However, after making the Udampadi with Jesus Christ through Mother Mary's intercession, doors that had remained closed suddenly opened.
By the grace of God, I received an appointment in another reputed hospital in Dubai. It was truly a gift from Jesus through the prayers and intercession of Kreupasanam Mother Mary.
The Lord did not stop there.
At my new hospital, despite facing difficult situations and major professional challenges, I have not experienced a single surgical error. The confidence I had lost was restored. Slowly, my reputation as a doctor returned, and I was able to serve my patients with peace and assurance once again.
The blessings were not limited to my career alone.
For nearly seven to eight years, my family had been carrying misunderstandings and emotional wounds. Through participation in the Kreupasanam Sandhya Prayer and through the special prayers for departed souls encouraged at Kreupasanam, many of these long-standing issues were resolved. Peace gradually entered our family life.
I also began attending the weekly retreats conducted by Rev. Fr. V. P. Joseph and shared Kreupasanam publications and newsletters with my colleagues in the hospitals where I worked. Many of them began reading the Word of God and experienced spiritual growth.
Most importantly, I received an inner peace that I had never experienced before.
The anger, sadness, disappointments and emotional burdens that had accumulated over many years slowly disappeared. During the crossroads of my life, Jesus, through the loving intercession of Mother Mary, held my hand and guided me forward.
Today I firmly believe that no problem is too great for Jesus.
Human efforts alone cannot solve every difficulty. Professional skills, experience, intelligence and hard work are important, but ultimately it is the grace of God that opens impossible doors and brings healing to broken situations.
As an act of gratitude for the blessings I received, I try to help those who struggle financially and support charitable causes whenever possible.
To anyone who is going through severe trials in career, family life or personal struggles, I wish to say this:
Do not lose hope.
Make an Udampadi with Jesus through the intercession of Mother Mary. Trust in the Lord completely. The Lord who guided Abraham through his testing period and the Lord who strengthened me in my trials will surely guide you too.
As the Scripture says:
"Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'"
— Isaiah 30:20-21 (RSV-CE)
All glory, honour and thanksgiving belong to our Lord Jesus Christ and to our loving Mother Mary, through whose intercession these blessings were granted.
Praise be to Jesus! Ave Maria!
