Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would    38   to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the    39   of her mouth. A careful examination later    40    that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

      I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had   49   nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness    50   .

      I had read of such things happening, but had    51   seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting   52   to see.
