12 Times Failed in IELTS Exam and 2 Times in OET. Then Great Miracle

Kreupasanam Testimony of Abimol: From Repeated IELTS Failures to Success in IELTS and CBT Through Prayer and Faith

May the Divine Name of the Lord Be Glorified!

An inspiring testimony of faith, perseverance, the power of prayer, the Holy Bible, and devotion to the Holy Mother of Kreupasanam.

When Every Attempt Ended in Disappointment

Sometimes, life takes us through a long and painful journey before we experience the joy of success. Repeated failures can weaken our confidence, and even the encouragement of our loved ones may not be enough to overcome our disappointment. But when we continue to trust in God, hope can remain alive even in the darkest moments.

The testimony of Abimol, a nurse who experienced repeated failures in her attempts to pass the IELTS examination, is an inspiring story of perseverance, prayer, and renewed hope through her visit to Kreupasanam Marian Shrine in Kerala.

Her journey reminds us that when we feel helpless, we should not lose hope or give up praying.

Five IELTS Attempts and Repeated Failures

Abimol had been working as a nurse. In 2017, she resigned from her job and returned to Kerala to prepare for the IELTS examination, hoping to pursue her professional dreams abroad.

She attended different coaching centres and wrote the IELTS examination five times in 2017. Although her teachers repeatedly encouraged her, assuring her that she would succeed, the results did not meet her expectations.

She then believed that the OET examination might be a better option. However, she could not achieve the required score in the writing section on her first or second attempt.

Despite having visited several retreat centres and prayed earnestly, she continued to experience disappointment. Some people even questioned her, wondering why she had not succeeded despite praying so much.

Such experiences can be deeply painful. When repeated failures are accompanied by criticism and discouragement, a person may begin to lose confidence in herself.

Yet Abimol did not abandon her dream.

Her parents continued to encourage her, expressing their confidence in her ability to succeed. Their support gave her strength to try again.

Unfortunately, six more further IELTS attempts brought more disappointment. Sometimes she failed to achieve the required writing score; at other times, she lost marks in another module.

Eventually, she reached a point where she felt completely discouraged and did not know what to do next.

A Friend Introduces Her to Kreupasanam

At this difficult stage in her life, a friend suggested that she visit Kreupasanam Marian Shrine at Kalavoor, Alappuzha, and pray there.

Encouraged by her friend's suggestion, Abimol visited Kreupasanam on December 12, 2018, according to her testimony. There, she made an Udambadi covenant and entrusted her future to God through prayer.

She subsequently wrote the IELTS examination on January 5.

What happened next brought her tremendous joy.

Abimol testified that she achieved the IELTS result she had been struggling to obtain after 12 unsuccessful attempts.

She described her success as miraculous because, according to her account, she had not attended another coaching centre or undertaken additional studies during that preparation period. Instead, she followed the spiritual practices she had been instructed to undertake at Kreupasanam.

She prayed twice a day and read the Holy Bible for more than half an hour daily.

After so many disappointments, this success renewed her hope and strengthened her faith.

The Holy Bible: A Source of Wisdom and Strength

Reflecting on her experience, Abimol encouraged those preparing for IELTS to pray earnestly and read the Holy Bible.

She expressed her conviction that the Word of God is a source of knowledge and wisdom. For her, prayer and Bible reading became central to the period in which she finally achieved the result she had long desired.

Her message invites us to remember that spiritual life is not merely about asking God for favours. Prayer can also strengthen our hearts, renew our courage, and help us face difficulties with greater confidence.

The Holy Bible declares:

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” — Psalm 111:10 

God's Word guides us in wisdom and truth. At the same time, those preparing for professional examinations should continue to practise, study, and develop the knowledge and skills required for success. Abimol's testimony describes the spiritual discipline that sustained her during a challenging period of her life.

Another Challenge: The UK Nursing CBT Examination

Abimol's journey did not end with IELTS success. She wanted to pursue her nursing career in the United Kingdom, and she contacted an agency to learn about the next steps.

She was informed that she would also need to pass the CBT examination, another important step in her professional journey.

According to her account, the examination was considered difficult, and she was initially told that an examination date might not be available until after March.

Once again, she turned to prayer, seeking the intercession of the Holy Mother and asking Her to help open a way forward.

When she checked again, she was surprised to find an examination date available on February 11.

For Abimol, this unexpected opportunity was another reason to give thanks to God.

The Marian Medal and Her Prayer During the Examination

Abimol also shared a touching detail about how she approached the CBT examination.

Whenever she selected an answer, she would put her Marian Medal aside and pray, asking the Holy Mother to intercede for her and help her choose the correct answer.

She described the examination as difficult, but she believed that the Lord had helped her through the challenge.

According to her testimony, she succeeded in both IELTS and CBT within a remarkably short period after turning to prayer at Kreupasanam.

She expressed profound gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Virgin Mother for the blessings she believed she had received.

Her words convey the joy of someone who had endured repeated disappointment and finally found renewed confidence and hope.

What Can We Learn from Abimol's Testimony?

Abimol's story offers several inspiring lessons for anyone facing repeated failures or uncertainty about the future.

1. Do not give up after repeated failures.

Failure does not have to be the end of our journey. It can be an opportunity to reassess our efforts, learn from our mistakes, and begin again with renewed determination.

2. Never stop praying during difficult times.

Prayer can help us remain hopeful when circumstances appear unfavourable. Even when an answer does not come immediately, we can continue to entrust our worries and plans to God.

3. Read and meditate on the Word of God.

The Holy Bible provides spiritual guidance, wisdom, comfort, and encouragement. Regular Bible reading can help us face life's trials with greater faith.

4. Value the encouragement of family and friends.

Abimol's parents encouraged her to continue pursuing her dream, while a friend introduced her to Kreupasanam. Their support played an important part in her journey.

5. Give thanks to God when blessings come.

Abimol did not speak only about passing examinations. She also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Virgin Mother for the blessings she experienced.

6. Combine faith with responsible effort.

Prayer and trust in God need not be separated from practical preparation. Study, disciplined practice, professional guidance, and perseverance remain important in pursuing our goals.

A Message of Hope for Those Who Are Struggling

Are you preparing for a competitive examination? Are you facing repeated failures in your studies, career, family life, or personal plans? Have people discouraged you because your prayers have not yet brought the result you hoped for?

Abimol's testimony invites you not to surrender to despair.

Continue praying. Read the Holy Bible. Seek the guidance of God. Ask the Holy Mother to intercede for you, according to the Catholic tradition of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the same time, persevere in the practical steps needed to achieve your goal.

We cannot promise that every prayer will result in the exact outcome we desire or that every examination will be passed without difficulty. But we can continue to place our trust in God's providence and seek His strength as we face the challenges before us.

The words of Psalm 37:5 offer a beautiful reminder:

“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.” — Psalm 37:5

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

Abimol concluded her testimony by expressing immense gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Virgin Mother. After years of frustration and repeated examination failures, she believed that her prayers at Kreupasanam had marked a turning point in her life.

Her story is a reminder to all who are struggling that disappointment need not destroy hope.

May all glory, praise, and thanksgiving be given to the Lord Jesus Christ!

May the Holy Virgin Mary intercede for all those who are suffering, those preparing for examinations, nurses seeking opportunities abroad, and families praying for the future of their children.

Praise the Lord! May the Divine Name of the Lord be glorified!

Muslim Woman Introduces Kreupasanam Mother to a Hindu Man

A remarkable testimony of faith, prayer, healing, family, forgiveness, and unexpected blessings

Sometimes, God enters a person's life through an unexpected door.

For Manesh Nair, a Hindu man from Karunagappally in Kollam district, that door was opened by a Muslim woman who lived next door.

At a time when he was struggling with serious health concerns, emotional pain, separation from his wife, and the loss of both his parents, this Muslim neighbour introduced him to the Kreupasanam Mother and gave him the Kreupasanam covenant material.

What followed, according to Manesh's testimony, became a remarkable journey of prayer, faith, inner transformation, family restoration, health-related blessings, and a renewed desire to help others.

“I want to sincerely thank my Kreupasanam Mother and Lord Jesus Christ for always supporting me and my family throughout this journey.”

Manesh came to Kreupasanam with his young son, Niranjanam Pillai, whom he affectionately calls Monu. Their story is not simply about a physical journey to a Marian shrine. It is also the story of a father and son discovering prayer together and finding a new meaning in life.

---

A Hindu Family Facing a Difficult Time

Manesh is 40 years old and comes from Karunagappally, Kollam district. He and his family belong to the Nair caste and follow the Hindu faith.

His wife is a nurse working in Ireland. Like any family, they had dreams for their future and hoped to build their life together.

But in January 2025, Manesh became seriously ill and had to undergo a major operation at Amrita Hospital. The Whipple surgery lasted approximately 12 hours.

After the surgery, he underwent six cycles of chemotherapy.

When the chemotherapy was completed, he continued regular medical check-ups. For a period, everything appeared to be progressing normally.

Then came April 2026.

During a routine check-up, a CT scan reportedly showed a small blockage in the liver. His doctors advised him to undergo a biopsy to determine what was happening.

For Manesh, the news was devastating.

He had already endured a major operation, months of recovery and chemotherapy. At 40, he felt that life was only beginning. His wife was working in Ireland, and the couple had many dreams for their future.

The possibility of another serious health problem filled him with anxiety.

He was given a date for the biopsy.

April 26, 2026.

He did not know what the future held.

---

The Muslim Neighbour Who Came With an Unexpected Gift

On the night before the biopsy, while Manesh was sitting at home distressed and worried, a Muslim woman who lived nearby came to visit him.

She spoke to him about Kreupasanam and handed him the Kreupasanam Paper.

She also asked him to read it carefully.

Manesh was surprised.

He stayed awake that night reading the whole material and going through the testimonies and information it contained.

He had not expected that a Muslim neighbour would introduce him to the devotion associated with the Kreupasanam Mother of Jesus Christ.

But that small act of kindness became a turning point in his life.

The next day, April 26, Manesh went to Amrita Hospital and underwent the biopsy.

On April 27, he came to Kreupasanam and signed the covenant.

He says that the decision was made in the midst of uncertainty, when he did not know what his medical reports would reveal.

---

The Biopsy Result

According to Manesh's testimony, the biopsy results that came approximately a week later were normal.

For him, this was a tremendous blessing.

He thanked God and began visiting Kreupasanam regularly.

The experience also changed his attitude toward prayer.

Previously, his mind had been occupied largely with appointments, medical reports, work, travel and family concerns. Gradually, he says, he began to understand prayer differently.

Instead of simply asking God for particular outcomes, he began asking for a closer relationship with God and for the grace to live a better life.

---

A Father and Son Begin Praying Together

With his wife working abroad as a nurse, Manesh and his son were often alone at home.

They cooked together, lived together and gradually began praying together.

Manesh describes how his daily routine changed.

He began waking early in the morning for prayer. He would pray, read the Bible for around half an hour and then prepare for his son's school.

He and his son also began praying in the evening, even when the boy returned late from tuition.

The prayers became a regular part of their family life.

For Manesh, this was itself a great blessing.

He says that the prayers were not forced upon them. They gradually became part of their daily life.

---

Finding a Fatherly Voice in the Teachings of Fr Joseph

One of the most touching parts of Manesh's testimony concerns his relationship with the teachings and meditations of Fr Joseph.

Manesh had lost his father at the age of 27 and his mother at the age of 38.

The loss of his parents left a deep emptiness in his life.

He explains that even when a person becomes 40, 50 or 60 years old, there is something special about being someone's child.

A person can become a husband, father, brother or professional—but the relationship between a parent and child is unique.

After losing both parents, Manesh found himself missing the simple things his mother used to ask:

“Have you eaten?”

Those ordinary questions, which once seemed insignificant, became precious memories.

His mother had lived only about a kilometre away. She would ask whether he had eaten properly, whether he had prepared fish curry or tapioca, and would often ask him to come over and eat.

After she died, no one asked those questions in quite the same way.

That absence became one of the deepest sorrows in his heart.

---

“I See Joseph Achan as a Father Figure”

Manesh says that he did not personally know Fr Joseph closely.

But he listened to his talks and meditations.

He compared his experience to the story of Ekalavya and Dronacharya from Hindu puranam—learning by observing a teacher from a distance.

Through the teachings, Manesh says, he began to feel that Fr Joseph was speaking directly to him.

He listened, reflected and tried to change himself.

The teachings encouraged him to bring his worries before God rather than carrying everything alone.

This became particularly important because Manesh says that after his illness he had developed a tendency to become angry quickly.

Gradually, he says, he learned to control his anger, forgive people who had hurt him and treat others more kindly.

---

From Fear and Anger to Forgiveness

Manesh describes this inner transformation as one of the greatest blessings of his journey.

He began asking forgiveness for his own mistakes.

He began trying to forgive others.

He says that instead of constantly worrying about medical appointments and future uncertainties, he started praying for God's will and for the grace to live closer to Him.

For him, prayer was becoming less about “Give me this” and more about “Bring me closer to You.”

That change in attitude became an important part of his testimony.

---

The Rainbow and Other Experiences

Manesh and his son also describe several experiences that they interpreted as blessings.

On one occasion, after his son woke up, they saw a rainbow outside their home.

According to Manesh, the rainbow remained visible only for a few minutes.

They also describe seeing images associated with the Sacred Heart, Holy Mary holding Baby Jesus, the Holy Rosary and the Kreupasanam Mother in the candle they lit.

For Manesh and his son, these experiences were deeply meaningful signs of God's closeness.

He understood them not as something to boast about, but as reasons to give thanks.

---

The Visa That Finally Came

Another important part of the family's story concerned their plans to move to Ireland.

For approximately six or seven months, they had been working through the process.

There were delays and uncertainties.

Manesh says that certain dates became particularly meaningful to him and his son—especially the 7th, 11th and 17th.

Then, on July 17, Manesh and his son received their visas.

For Manesh, the timing was deeply significant.

He immediately connected the event with his prayers and thanked God.

---

A Powerful Experience at Kreupasanam

Another deeply emotional moment came when Manesh visited Kreupasanam.

He says that he suddenly began crying uncontrollably.

He himself did not understand why he was crying.

Someone nearby asked him why he was in tears.

According to his testimony, another person later told him that the illness about which he had been worried had been healed.

Manesh says he was surprised because he had not shared his medical situation with those people.

He took the words as another sign of God's protection.

---

The Journey to the Hospital

One of the most dramatic incidents in his testimony occurred while travelling for another medical check-up.

Manesh, his son and their driver were travelling in a vehicle. They asked the driver to wake them at the Kreupasanam Shrine on their way and slept. The driver woke them at the Shrine. They went inside, prayed and spent some time there and continued their journey.

At one point after just 10 minutes, the driver became drowsy and apparently fell asleep momentarily while driving.

Manesh says he suddenly called out to him.

The driver woke up and applied the brakes.

According to Manesh, a truck was directly ahead.

He believes that, had the driver remained asleep for a few more moments, a serious accident could have occurred.

For Manesh, escaping that situation was another powerful experience of God's protection.

He repeatedly describes the incident as a blessing received through the prayers and intercession of the Holy Mother.

---

Another Medical Check-Up

Manesh later underwent another major medical evaluation, including a PET-CT scan.

The family waited anxiously for the results.

He says that he and his wife prayed intensely.

When the results came, according to his testimony, the doctor told them that there was no problem and that there was no medical obstacle to his plans to travel to Ireland, subject to the recommended follow-up and blood tests.

For Manesh, this was another moment of immense gratitude.

He says:

“By God's grace, the doctor said there was no problem.”

---

His Wife Makes Her Own Udambadi (Covenant)

An especially beautiful development in the story came when Manesh's wife also felt moved to make a covenant.

The family had come to Kreupasanam on the 11th, partly connected with their desire to give testimony.

Although circumstances prevented them from doing everything they initially intended that day, Manesh says his wife eventually felt strongly that she should make her own commitment.

She did so.

For the family, the covenant became something they wanted to live together—not merely something they had signed.

His wife subsequently returned to Ireland, carrying with her the prayerful connection to Kreupasanam.

---

A New Chapter in Ireland

The family's journey continued.

Manesh's wife was already in Ireland.

His son's admission to a school there was arranged, and the family also secured accommodation.

Manesh describes this as another unexpected blessing.

What had once seemed uncertain was gradually coming together.

He and his son also received their travel arrangements.

For Manesh, these developments were another reason to thank God.

---

An Unexpected Blessing in His Health

Manesh also speaks about a long-standing problem with sleep apnea.

He describes having suffered from excessive sleepiness and tiredness, particularly while travelling.

Doctors had diagnosed sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine.

According to his testimony, during a later medical review he was told that he no longer needed to use the machine.

Manesh considers this another blessing received during his spiritual journey.

This is his personal account; medical conditions and treatment decisions should, of course, continue to be assessed by qualified doctors.

---

“Even If My Mother Is Not Here, Holy Mary Is With Me”

Perhaps one of the most moving statements in Manesh's testimony concerns his understanding of motherhood.

Having lost his biological mother, he says he has gradually developed a deep devotion to Holy Mother Mary.

He describes Holy Mary as a motherly presence in his life.

His words reveal how the sorrow of losing his own mother became intertwined with his growing spiritual relationship with the Holy Mother.

For him, this does not erase the memory of his biological mother.

Rather, he feels that the emptiness left by her death has led him toward another experience of maternal love.

---

From Receiving Blessings to Helping Others

One of the most beautiful fruits of Manesh's journey is the change in the way he looks at other people.

He says that every month he sets aside part of his income to help families in need.

He purchases rice and other essential items for several families.

He does not want recognition for this.

According to his testimony, he does not even tell the recipients who he is.

If they ask where he lives or who he is, he tells them simply to consider the help as coming from God.

He also helps people he meets around Kreupasanam.

Some are poor.

Some live with disabilities.

Some ask for food.

Manesh says that instead of simply giving money, he often prefers to buy food for them.

He speaks to them, listens to their stories and treats them with affection.

The people who know him have come to recognize him.

For Manesh, these encounters bring joy.

---

Sharing Kreupasanam Newspapers

Manesh has also taken up another form of outreach.

He says that he purchases Kreupasanam newspapers and distributes them to people he meets—not necessarily inside churches, but also on the streets and in ordinary places.

He encourages people to read the testimonies and messages rather than simply throwing the newspaper away.

He even writes his name and phone number inside some copies so that people can contact him if they have questions.

In this way, the man who was once introduced to Kreupasanam by a Muslim neighbour now finds himself introducing others to what he has personally experienced.

What began with someone giving him a piece of paper has become, for him, a mission of sharing.

---

A Beautiful Interfaith Beginning

There is something particularly striking about the beginning of this testimony.

A Muslim woman introduced a Hindu man to the Kreupasanam Mother.

The man and his son subsequently began praying in a Christian devotional context while remaining rooted in their own journey of faith.

Their story demonstrates how an act of kindness can cross religious boundaries.

The neighbour did not ask about caste, community or religious identity before offering help.

She simply saw a man in distress and reached out.

That small gesture changed the direction of Manesh's life.

---

“The Desire to Live”

Reflecting on everything he had experienced, Manesh says that illness taught him something fundamental about life.

When a person is healthy, it is easy to become occupied with work, money, ambitions and plans.

But illness can make a person stop and ask deeper questions.

Who will actually be with me?

What really matters?

What kind of life do I want to live?

What is God's plan for me?

Manesh says that through his illness he discovered that life is ultimately about the desire to live—and the desire to be with the people one loves.

He also realized that the people who unexpectedly stand beside us during difficult moments can sometimes be different from the people we originally expected.

---

A Life Transformed by Prayer

Looking back on his journey, Manesh speaks about many blessings:

• The biopsy that, according to his testimony, showed no further problem.

• His continuing medical follow-ups.

• The progress of his family's Ireland plans.

• His son's education and future.

• His wife's journey.

• His experience of protection while travelling.

• His reported improvement in his sleep-apnea condition.

• The restoration of peace within himself.

• Learning to control anger.

• Learning to forgive.

• Developing a daily prayer life with his son.

• Discovering a deeper love for Holy Mary.

• Finding comfort through the teachings and meditations of Fr Joseph.

• Developing a desire to help poor and struggling people.

• Sharing Kreupasanam material and newspapers with others.

But perhaps the greatest change was not any individual event.

It was the transformation of his way of living.

The man who once worried constantly about appointments and medical reports says that he no longer wants his life to revolve around fear.

He wants to pray.

He wants to forgive.

He wants to help.

He wants to live with his wife and son.

And he wants to give thanks.

---

“A Thousand Thanks to Amma Mathavu and Thirukkumaran”

At the conclusion of his testimony, Manesh offers heartfelt thanks to the Kreupasanam Mother and Lord Jesus Christ for the blessings he believes his family has received.

He expresses his desire to continue the covenant and to live according to what he has learned.

His story began with illness and uncertainty.

It continued through a Muslim neighbour's unexpected act of kindness.

It brought him to Kreupasanam with his son.

It introduced him to a new life of prayer.

And it ultimately inspired him to become a person who wants to help others.

His message is simple:

Pray. Trust God. Forgive. Help others. And never lose the desire to live.

As Manesh and his son prepare for their next chapter in Ireland, they carry with them the prayer life that began during one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

“A thousand thanks to Amma Mathavu and Thirukkumaran.”

Psalm 147:13–14

“For He strengthens the bars of your gates;
He blesses your children within you.
He makes peace in your borders;
He fills you with the finest of wheat.”

May the testimony of Manesh and his family inspire many people to approach God with faith, gratitude, humility and love—and to extend that love to others, regardless of their religion, background or circumstances.

Praise the Lord.

Glory to God for all the blessings and graces.

Kreupasanam Mega Rosary Rally USA 2026: 1000 Beads Rosary

Kreupasanam Mega Rosary Rally USA 2026: 1000-Beads Rosary Uniting Hearts for Peace

The Holy Rosary is one of the most beloved and powerful Marian prayers in the Catholic Church. When thousands of people come together in one heart and one prayer, the Rosary becomes a beautiful public witness of faith, trust and surrender to Lord Jesus Christ through the loving intercession of the Holy Virgin Mary.

The great Kreupasanam Maha Akhanda Japamala Rally held every year in Alappuzha, Kerala, has become a remarkable expression of this devotion. Now, the spirit of the Kreupasanam 1000-Beads Rosary is reaching Catholic communities beyond India, including the United States.

Kreupasanam Maha Akhanda Japamala Rally in Alappuzha

Every year, on the last Saturday of October, tens of thousands of faithful gather at Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, Kalavoor, Alappuzha, for the Kreupasanam Maha Akhanda Japamala Rally.

The rally traditionally proceeds from Kreupasanam at Kalavoor towards St. Andrew's Basilica, Arthunkal, with devotees praying the Holy Rosary along the way. The event has grown enormously over the years. The 2025 rally was reported to have drawn a massive gathering, with the procession travelling from the Kreupasanam Jubilee Mission Church towards Arthunkal. 

The Kreupasanam Rosary Rally was first conducted in 2002, and the annual event has become one of the major public expressions of Marian devotion in Kerala. The Kreupasanam ministry describes the rally as a prayer for individual intentions as well as for families, society, the nation and the peace of the world. (Kreupasanam Online)

The 2026 Alappuzha rally will fall on Saturday, October 31, since that is the last Saturday of October.

The Spiritual Power of the 1000-Beads Rosary

One of the distinctive prayer initiatives associated with Kreupasanam is the 1000-Beads Rosary – Intercessory Prayer Group. The official Kreupasanam website encourages groups of at least five covenant members to form 1000-Beads Rosary prayer groups and undertake this intercessory ministry. (Kreupasanam)

A 1000-Beads Rosary represents a profound commitment to persevering prayer. It is not the beads themselves that possess supernatural power. The power belongs to God, and the grace comes from God through the Holy Mother of Grace. The Rosary is a powerful means of prayer because it leads the faithful to meditate upon the mysteries of the life, Passion, Death and Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ, while seeking the maternal intercession of the Holy Virgin Mary.

The repeated prayer of the Hail Mary is not merely mechanical repetition. When prayed devoutly, it becomes an extended meditation on the mysteries of salvation. A 1000-Beads Rosary therefore provides an extraordinary opportunity for prolonged intercession—for families, children, the sick, priests, vocations, peace, conversion and the needs of the world.

The official Kreupasanam ministry specifically identifies its 1000-Beads Rosary groups as an intercessory prayer ministry. (Kreupasanam)

Why is it called "Akhanda" Japamala?

The Malayalam expression Akhanda Japamala conveys the idea of a continuous or unbroken Rosary prayer. The emphasis is not simply on the quantity of prayers but on perseverance—remaining united in prayer and continuing to place one's intentions before God.

This is particularly meaningful in an age when families, communities and nations face many difficulties. A massive Rosary gathering publicly proclaims that Christians still believe in the power of prayer and in the providence of God.

October—A Month of Rosary Prayer Around the World

October has a special place in Catholic devotion to the Holy Rosary because the Church celebrates the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7.

Consequently, October has become a season of Rosary rallies, Rosary crusades, Rosary congresses and public prayer gatherings in many parts of the world. In the United States, for example, large numbers of public Rosary rallies are organized during October. The 2026 Public Square Rosary Crusade is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, at noon local time, with rallies taking place across America. (American Needs Fatima)

There are also Eucharistic Rosary Congresses and other large-scale Rosary gatherings in different parts of the United States. (Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island)

Against this worldwide background of October Rosary devotion, the Kreupasanam Mega Rosary Rally USA 2026 offers a special opportunity for the faithful in Texas to unite themselves spiritually with the great Rosary movement centred at Kreupasanam in Kerala.

"One Rosary, One Heart, One World"

The beautiful theme printed on the rally announcement expresses the spirit of this international prayer movement:

"Let us come together in faith and prayer. Bring your family and friends. One Rosary, One Heart, One World. All are welcome!"

The principal intention announced for the USA rallies is especially significant:

PRAYING FOR PEACE IN FAMILIES AND FOR WORLD PEACE

This intention makes the Rosary particularly relevant to our times. The family is the foundation of society, while peace in the world begins with peace in human hearts and families.

When fathers, mothers, children, young people, religious and priests gather together in prayer, they give public witness to their faith and entrust their families and communities to God.

From Alappuzha to Texas—A Rosary Without Borders

There is something deeply beautiful about the connection between the Kreupasanam Maha Akhanda Japamala Rally in Alappuzha and the Kreupasanam Mega Rosary Rally in Texas.

In Kerala, enormous crowds walk together in prayer from Kalavoor towards Arthunkal. In Texas, Catholic families and communities will gather at different churches throughout October. Though separated by thousands of kilometres, the faithful can be united by the same devotion to the Holy Rosary and the same desire to seek God's grace and peace.

The official Kreupasanam ministry itself describes its Marian Covenant spirituality as God-centred, Christ-centred and Holy Spirit-centred. (Kreupasanam) Thus, devotion to the Holy Virgin Mary ultimately leads the faithful towards Lord Jesus Christ, the centre of Christian faith.

An Invitation to Families

The Kreupasanam Mega Rosary Rally USA 2026 is more than another religious programme. It is an invitation to families to stop for a few hours, put aside the distractions of daily life, take the Holy Rosary in their hands and pray together.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your intentions.

Pray for your children.
Pray for your marriage.
Pray for the sick and suffering.
Pray for priests and religious vocations.
Pray for conversion and healing.
Pray for peace in families.
And pray for world peace.

Above all, let every Hail Mary become an expression of love for the Holy Virgin Mary and every mystery a deeper meditation upon Lord Jesus Christ.

How to Reach Kreupasanam Marian Shrine at Kalavoor, Alappuzha

When every road seems to have reached a dead end, many turn towards Kreupasanam

The number of people searching online for “How to reach Kreupasanam?”, “Where is Kreupasanam Church?”, and “Kreupasanam location Kalavoor” appears to be growing day by day. Behind many of these searches is not merely a desire to visit a new place, but a story of suffering, hope and prayer.

As the problems of life seem to increase—financial difficulties, family problems, difficulties in marriage, sickness, unemployment, addictions, broken relationships, examinations, visa and employment concerns, and many other struggles—people try one solution after another. When repeated attempts appear to fail, some people, irrespective of their religious background, hear about Kreupasanam Marian Shrine through a relative, friend or acquaintance. Others come across a testimony on YouTube or social media that deeply touches their heart.

For some, the testimony becomes the reason to make a pilgrimage to Kreupasanam and participate in the Marian Covenant Prayer, commonly known among devotees as “Udambadi.” They come carrying their burdens and placing their hopes before God through the intercession of the Holy Mother of Grace.

It is therefore quite natural that the next question they ask is:

“Where exactly is Kreupasanam, and how can I reach there?”

If you are planning your first pilgrimage to Kreupasanam, this guide will help you.

Where is Kreupasanam?

Kreupasanam Marian Shrine is situated at Kalavoor in Alappuzha district, Kerala, along the National Highway 66 corridor.

The official Kreupasanam website gives the address as:

Kalavoor, Alappuzha – 688522
Kerala, South India.

The shrine is approximately 1 kilometre from Kalavoor Block Junction, on the eastern side of the National Highway. (Krupasanam)

This location makes Kreupasanam relatively easy to reach from both the northern side of Kerala—Ernakulam, Thrissur and Palakkad—and the southern side—Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram.

How to Reach Kreupasanam from Palakkad, Thrissur and Ernakulam

1. By road from Palakkad

If you are travelling from Palakkad, one convenient route is:

Palakkad → Thrissur → Ernakulam → Cherthala → Kalavoor → Kreupasanam

From Ernakulam, proceed towards Alappuzha (via Cherthala) through NH 66. After passing Cherthala, continue towards Alappuzha. Ask for Kreupasanam situated 1 Km before Kalavoor Block Junction / Kalavoor.

If you reach Kalavoor Block Junction, Kreupasanam is about 1 km Before Kalavur.

The official Kreupasanam directions specifically mention the Ernakulam–Cherthala–Alappuzha route and Kalavoor Block bus stop. (Kreupasanam)

If you are travelling by car, motorcycle or taxi, you can simply search for “Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, Kalavoor” in your navigation application.

---

2. From Thrissur

From Thrissur, travel towards Ernakulam, and from Ernakulam continue through Aroor–Cherthala–Kalavoor along the NH 66 corridor.

The broad route is:

Thrissur → Ernakulam → Aroor → Cherthala → "Kreupasanam" → Kalavoor 

For people coming from central and northern Kerala, this is one of the most straightforward road approaches.

---

3. From Ernakulam

From Ernakulam, the journey is particularly simple.

Travel south towards:

Ernakulam → Aroor → Cherthala → Kalavoor

The official Kreupasanam website gives the following bus route: take a bus from Ernakulam North towards Cherthala, then continue towards Alappuzha and get down at Kreupasanam 1 km before Kalavoor Block Junction. (Kreupasanam)

From Kalavoor Block Junction, the shrine is approximately 1 km ahead.

By bus from Ernakulam

Look for buses travelling towards Cherthala/Alappuzha and ask the conductor for Kreupasanam ahead of Kalavoor Block Junction.

Most of the buses stop infront of the shrine, while others may drop you at Kalavoor Junction/Block Junction. Since bus routes and stopping points can change, it is wise to confirm with the conductor before boarding.

---

How to Reach Kreupasanam from Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram

For pilgrims travelling from the southern districts, the route is equally convenient.

From Kollam

From Kollam, travel northwards along NH 66 through:

Kollam → Kayamkulam → Haripad → Ambalappuzha → Alappuzha → Kalavoor

You can travel by bus, train or your own vehicle.

If you are travelling by bus, ask for a bus going towards Alappuzha/Cherthala/Ernakulam and enquire specifically about getting down at Kreupasanam 1 km after Kalavoor.

There are also long-distance buses operating along the Thiruvananthapuram–Kollam–Alappuzha–Cherthala–Ernakulam corridor, with Kalavoor appearing on some services. (Green Kbuses)

---

From Thiruvananthapuram

Pilgrims from Thiruvananthapuram can travel northwards:

Thiruvananthapuram → Kollam → Kayamkulam → Haripad → Alappuzha → Kalavoor

By road, NH 66 provides the principal connection.

The Alappuzha district administration lists Thiruvananthapuram at approximately 155 km by road, with the journey following the NH 66 corridor. (Alappuzha)

By bus

You can take a Thiruvananthapuram–Alappuzha/Ernakulam service and ask whether it stops at Kreupasanam near Kalavoor.

In very rare cases, If the particular bus does not stop at Kalavoor, getting down at Alappuzha and taking a local bus, taxi or auto-rickshaw to Kreupasanam is another convenient option.

---

Reaching Kreupasanam by Train

One of the useful things many first-time pilgrims do not know is that Kalavoor has its own railway halt—Kalavoor (KAVR).

The railway line connects Kalavoor with Alappuzha and Ernakulam, and passenger/MEMU services operate on this route. (eRail)

The Kalavoor railway station is approximately 1 km from Kreupasanam, according to local location information. (Yappe)

From Alappuzha Railway Station

If your train stops at Alappuzha (ALLP), you can take a local passenger/MEMU train towards Ernakulam and get down at Kalavoor Halt (KAVR) when a suitable service is available.

The railway distance from Alappuzha to Kalavoor is about 9 km, and passenger/MEMU services connect the two stations. (India Rail Info)

From Kalavoor railway station, you can take an auto-rickshaw or walk towards Kreupasanam, depending on your convenience.

From Ernakulam

Pilgrims arriving at Ernakulam Junction (ERS) or Ernakulam Town (ERN) can look for a train travelling towards Alappuzha/Kollam/Kayamkulam (through the coastal line) that stops at Kalavoor (KAVR).

Because train schedules can change, it is always advisable to check the current Indian Railways/IRCTC schedule for your date of travel before beginning your journey.

If your train does not stop at Kalavoor

Do not worry.

You can get down at Alappuzha Railway Station and take a bus, taxi or auto-rickshaw to Kreupasanam. The road distance from Alappuzha to Kalavoor is only around 9–10 km. 

---

Reaching Kreupasanam by Bus

For many ordinary pilgrims, bus travel is perhaps the easiest and most economical option.

The important place to remember is:

"KREUPASANAM" near  KALAVOOR BLOCK JUNCTION

According to the official Kreupasanam directions:

Many bus services also list Kreupasanam itself as a boarding/drop-off point, so it is worthwhile asking the conductor whether the bus stops near the shrine. 

A simple sentence to tell the conductor

If you are unfamiliar with the area, simply say:

“Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, Kalavoor Block Junction.”

The conductor will generally be able to guide you to the appropriate stop.

---

Reaching Kreupasanam by Your Own Vehicle

For those travelling by car or motorcycle, the journey is straightforward.

If approaching from the Ernakulam/Cherthala side, continue towards Alappuzha on NH 66 and look for Kalavoor.

If approaching from the Alappuzha/southern side, continue northwards towards Cherthala and look for Kalavoor Block Junction.

Kreupasanam is on the eastern side of NH 66, approximately 1 km before Kalavoor Block Junction. (Krupasanam)

Before starting, enter the destination as:

Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, Kalavoor, Alappuzha, Kerala

rather than simply searching for “Kreupasanam,” because there can be similarly named places elsewhere.

---

Coming by Flight: From Nedumbassery Airport to Kreupasanam

If you are coming from another state or another country, the nearest major airport is Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery.

The Alappuzha district administration lists Cochin International Airport as the nearest international airport, at approximately 82.8 km from Alappuzha by road. (Alappuzha)

From Cochin International Airport (Nedumbassery), you can reach Kreupasanam by taxi/private vehicle.

A convenient broad route is:

Nedumbassery Airport → Aluva/Ernakulam → Aroor → Cherthala → Kreupasanam →  Kalavoor → 

You may also travel by public transport towards Ernakulam/Cherthala/Alappuzha and then continue to Kalavoor, but for elderly pilgrims, families carrying luggage, or first-time visitors, a taxi or pre-arranged vehicle can be considerably easier.

Before leaving the airport, tell the driver clearly:

“Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, Kalavoor, Alappuzha – near Kalavoor Block Junction.”

The official address is Kalavoor, Alappuzha–688522. (Kreupasanam)

Before You Begin Your Pilgrimage

Reaching Kreupasanam is only the physical part of the pilgrimage. The more important journey is the journey of the heart.

Many people arrive carrying years of pain, unanswered prayers and seemingly impossible situations. Some come after hearing a testimony. Some come because a family member brought them. Some come simply because they have nowhere else to turn.

Whatever may have brought you there, enter the shrine with faith, humility and prayer.

The official Kreupasanam website currently lists a Holy Mass at 7:30 AM and Confession from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, while its Marian Covenant schedule and other prayer programmes have their own timings. (Kreupasanam)

Since schedules and programmes can change, pilgrims should check the official Kreupasanam website or contact the shrine before travelling, particularly if they are travelling from a distant place or specifically coming for a Covenant/Udambadi programme.

For enquiries, the official contact page lists:

Come with your burden. Return with hope.

Perhaps your journey to Kreupasanam began with a Google search.

Perhaps you typed:

“How to reach Kreupasanam?”

But behind those few words may be a much deeper question:

“Where can I unload this problem that I can no longer carry?”

For countless devotees, the pilgrimage begins with that cry of the heart.

The road may begin at Kozhikode, Palakkad, Thrissur, Ernakulam, Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram or Nedumbassery. The train may bring you to Kalavoor Halt. A bus may leave you at Kalavoor Block Junction. A car may bring you directly to the shrine.

But once you enter the holy precincts of Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, let the journey become more than travelling from one place to another.

Kneel down before the Holy Mother of Grace.

Place your family before Her Divine Son God Jesus Christ.

Place your sickness, sorrow, financial problems, fears and unanswered prayers before the Lord.

And above all, remember that every Christian pilgrimage ultimately leads us not merely to a place, but closer to Jesus Christ.

May the Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Grace, intercede for every pilgrim who journeys to Kreupasanam with a sincere and trusting heart.

Kreupasanam Mother of Grace, pray for us.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us.

Travel information should be verified before departure, as train schedules, bus routes, stopping points and shrine programmes may change.

Testimony of Sridevi Ratheesh from Attappadi in Palakkad

A 30-Year Healing, Long-Awaited Financial Blessing, and Miraculous Recovery: A Kreupasanam Testimony of Faith

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endures forever." (Psalm 136:1)

Countless pilgrims who visit the Kreupasanam Marian Shrine have shared inspiring testimonies of God's grace received through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. One such testimony comes from Sridevi Ratheesh, a resident of Attappady in Kerala's Palakkad district, who experienced multiple blessings after entering into the Kreupasanam Udampadi (Covenant) and faithfully participating in prayer.

This testimony is presented as her personal experience and expression of faith.

A Painful Illness for Nearly Three Decades

Sridevi begins by asking forgiveness from Jesus and the Blessed Mother for delaying her testimony.

From childhood, she had been suffering from severe piles (hemorrhoids). The condition worsened whenever she ate certain foods, especially chicken. Over the years, the pain became increasingly difficult to bear. During severe episodes, she experienced excessive bleeding and found it almost impossible to sit, stand, or lie down comfortably.

Despite living with the illness for nearly 30 years, she says she placed her trust in prayer after joining the Kreupasanam Covenant.

Entering the Covenant During Financial Hardship

In 2022, while facing serious financial difficulties, Sridevi enrolled in the Kreupasanam Udampadi. Although she frequently renewed her covenant, she could never gather the courage to publicly testify about the blessings she had received.

Every time she attended retreats, she felt a gentle reminder in her heart whenever the priest encouraged people to share their testimonies. She desired to stand before the altar one day and glorify God, but circumstances prevented her from doing so.

Trusting in Prayer

During one particularly difficult period, her piles became extremely severe. Family members repeatedly urged her to seek medical treatment.

However, she chose to continue praying with faith. She regularly used the blessed sacramentals associated with the shrine, such as blessed salt and holy oil, while reciting the Creed and offering sincere prayers to Lord Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

She explains that this was her personal decision based on her faith and devotion.

Months later, she noticed something remarkable.

The pain gradually disappeared.

The bleeding stopped.

The condition that had troubled her for nearly three decades was completely gone.

Whenever she delayed giving her testimony, she says she occasionally experienced brief discomfort again. Each time, she would pray to the Blessed Mother, thanking her for the healing she believed she had received. According to her testimony, the pain would disappear again within a couple of days.

Today, she joyfully proclaims that she has been completely healed and gives all glory to Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

An Eight-Year Delay Ends in One Week

Another blessing involved government maternity benefits.

After the birth of her youngest child, Sridevi applied for a maternity benefit provided by the government. Despite submitting the necessary application, eight years passed without receiving the financial assistance.

After renewing her covenant in 2024, she attended prayer and later visited the concerned government office.

Following a testimony she had heard at Kreupasanam, she prayed with faith using blessed salt before approaching the office.

To her surprise, within a week she received a phone call informing her that her application had finally been approved. After submitting the remaining documents, the long-delayed benefit was deposited into her child's bank account shortly afterward.

She gratefully attributes this breakthrough to God's providence through the prayers offered at Kreupasanam.

Healing from Severe Back Pain

Sridevi also suffered from severe lower back pain for nearly six months.

Simple daily activities such as bending, standing, or sitting had become extremely difficult.

Instead of losing hope, she continued praying every morning and evening, using holy oil while entrusting her pain to Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

During one Tuesday healing prayer conducted by the retreat priest, those experiencing back pain were invited to place their hands on the affected area while praying.

She immediately responded in faith.

Two days later, while bending to do household work, she suddenly realized that the pain had completely disappeared.

She believes that Jesus Christ healed her during that prayer meeting.

Living a Life of Gratitude and Service

Receiving blessings also inspired Sridevi to become more active in Christian service.

She shares that before distributing the Kreupasanam publication to others, she prays over every copy, making the Sign of the Cross and anointing it with holy oil while reciting the Creed.

She participates in evangelization by sharing the Word of God with people who do not yet know Christ.

She also sets aside a portion of her income for charitable works, helping the poor, supporting bedridden patients, and providing food to orphanages together with her prayer group.

In addition, she regularly shares spiritual reflections, "Daily Bread" messages, retreat announcements, and testimonies through social media so that more people may encounter God's love.

A Life Transformed by Faith

Reflecting on her journey, Sridevi thanks Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary for the many blessings she has received—both great and small.

Her testimony reminds believers that faith often leads people to persevere through suffering with hope. Whether through physical healing, unexpected financial provision, or opportunities to serve others, she believes that God's grace has transformed her life.

As Scripture says:

"Here is My servant, whom I uphold, My chosen one in whom My soul delights; I have put My Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations."
— Isaiah 42:1

May testimonies like this encourage us to deepen our trust in God, persevere in prayer, and use every blessing we receive to serve others and glorify His holy name.

Joseph Gregory's testimony of numerous miracles in Canada

Kreupasanam Testimony: How the Holy Mother's Intercession Transformed a Family's Life in Canada

"You are their strength and glory; by your favor our horn is exalted. For our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel." — Psalm 89:17-18 (RSV-CE)

Every testimony glorifies God and strengthens the faith of others. The following is the inspiring testimony of Joseph Gregory and his family from Canada, who experienced remarkable blessings upon blessings after making the Kreupasanam Pilgrim Covenant (Udampadi) and placing their complete trust in the Lord through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Five Years of Struggle in Canada

Our family moved to Canada in 2018 with great hopes for a better future. However, the first five years were filled with disappointment and hardship.

Although we were qualified professionals, we could not secure jobs that matched our experience. Whenever we found employment, unexpected difficulties would arise. We struggled financially, emotionally, and spiritually, often wondering when God would answer our prayers.

In November 2023, after hearing the testimonies of others, we travelled to Kreupasanam Marian Shrine and made the Kreupasanam Covenant (Udampadi), surrendering our entire family into the hands of Jesus Christ through the Blessed Virgin Mother.

Little did we know that our lives were about to change.

A Dream That Became Reality

After returning to Canada, I began praying earnestly for a transfer to a better workplace.

Around that time, my wife Kavitha experienced a remarkable dream. The Holy Mother of Kreupasanam appeared to her and showed her a workplace built with distinctive brown bricks. We did not fully understand its meaning then.

Soon afterwards, Kavitha attended an online interview for a new position. She was selected.

When she finally arrived at her new workplace, we were overwhelmed with emotion. It was the exact building that the Holy Mother had shown her in the dream.

For us, this was a clear sign that God was guiding our family through the prayers of the Blessed Mother.

God's Perfect Timing

Another challenge soon arose.

We had to relocate to a place nearly 1,200 kilometres away, but our apartment was not yet ready. We had already booked hotel accommodation and expected to stay two weeks there until the apartment became available.

As we prepared to travel, weather warnings announced a severe snowstorm. We decided to leave much earlier than planned.

When we reached our destination, we received a miracle news.

Our apartment which was supposed to be ready after 15 days, was ready immediately, and the management handed over the keys that very day. Even more astonishing, they waived fifteen days of rent before our official lease began.

Every obstacle that had worried us simply disappeared.

A Safe Pregnancy Against All Odds

About a week after starting her new job, Kavitha became pregnant.

We rejoiced because we had been praying for another child. Yet humanly speaking, we were also afraid.

During her previous pregnancies, Kavitha had experienced numerous medical complications. She suffered from high blood pressure and other health concerns, requiring frequent hospital admissions and constant medical attention. The medications were expensive, and we wondered how we would manage.

Yet we continued trusting in God and remained faithful to our Kreupasanam Covenant.

This pregnancy became completely different from all the previous ones.

Kavitha continued working without needing repeated hospital admissions. She completed her duties normally, received her full salary, and enjoyed a healthy pregnancy without the serious complications that had troubled her before.

Her employer even granted generous leave with full support, something we had never imagined possible.

We truly experienced God's providence in every detail.

Complete Healing from a Life-Threatening Illness

After the baby's birth, another unexpected trial appeared.

Doctors diagnosed Kavitha with Thyroid Storm, a dangerous condition that can become life-threatening. We were informed that she would need lifelong medication.

During one of the Kreupasanam prayers, Father prayed specifically for those suffering from thyroid disorders.

We prayed with complete faith.

At the next medical review, the senior specialist examined her carefully and gave us astonishing news.

The thyroid condition had completely settled, and the doctor informed her that she no longer needed the lifelong medication that had previously been prescribed.

Once again, we witnessed God's healing power.

Blessings Upon Our Children

Our eldest son Abraham had been diagnosed as hyperactive, and doctors suspected that he might be on the autism spectrum.

He could attend school only for a short period each day, and someone always had to remain at home to care for him.

We continued praying, using the blessed articles received through the Covenant, and placing him under the protection of the Blessed Mother.

Gradually, everything changed.

His teachers called us with amazement.

"What are you doing at home? Abraham has changed completely!"

He became one of the best-performing students in his class and was soon able to attend school full-time.

We praise God for this extraordinary blessing.

God's Blessings Extended to My Career

For nearly five years I had searched unsuccessfully for a proper sales position. I accepted temporary jobs simply to provide for my family.

Then, after applying for another position, I received an unexpected phone call.

The interviewer told me:

"We actually didn't have a vacancy in your area. But recently I felt we needed a salesperson there. When I saw your location, I felt I should call you."

I knew this opportunity had come directly from God's providence.

Within only three months of joining the company, I received the Best Employee Award.

The following year I was honoured again as the Best Employee in the company's Canada branch.

Everything that had seemed impossible for years suddenly became possible through God's grace.

A Life Transformed Through Faith

Looking back, we realise that the greatest blessing was not merely receiving good jobs, financial stability, healing, or success.

The greatest miracle was the transformation within our hearts.

The Covenant taught us a profound truth:

God has always been ready to bless us. The real question is whether we are prepared to receive His blessings.

As we surrendered ourselves more completely to God through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we began witnessing His hand in every area of our lives.

Living to Bless Others

Our testimony did not end with receiving blessings.

Today, our family actively helps others in need. We support charitable works, pray with those who are suffering, encourage families to trust God, and share the message of hope wherever we go.

We have also started sharing Covenant prayer materials with people in different languages so that more families can experience the love and mercy of God.

Giving All Glory to God

Every blessing our family has received belongs to God alone.

We thank our Lord Jesus Christ for His endless mercy and thank the Blessed Virgin Mary for her loving intercession.

May this testimony strengthen everyone who is facing struggles, disappointments, sickness, unemployment, or family difficulties.

Trust in the Lord. Remain faithful in prayer. Surrender your life completely to Him.

God's timing is always perfect, and no prayer offered with faith ever goes unanswered.

"The Lord is our shield, and the Holy One of Israel is our King." (Psalm 89:18)

A Powerful Testimony of Dr. Caroline Paulson, Eye Specialist, Dubai

"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!
