Miracles of Saint Charbel in Russia (from letters)
Letter from Voronezh
“I worked as a nurse all my life, and during my work I saw different things on my way, I trusted only medicine and did not believe at all in healing through prayer and faith, even though I regularly go to church and consider myself a believer.
It happened that I was diagnosed with a fibrouterine formation in the chest area, and was immediately sent to the oncology dispensary. During the examination, of course, I was very worried, the diagnosis was disappointing - oncology.
By pure chance, or maybe not, because everything is given for a reason, the face of Saint Charbel fell into my hands, and I sincerely believed and began to apply the face to the sore spot and read a prayer from a pure heart.
A month later, a true miracle happened, it was hard for me to believe, but at a repeat ultrasound I was told that the tumor had simply resolved. The doctors were amazed how this could happen, but I didn’t explain anything to anyone.
When I came home, I sincerely thanked Saint Charbel, and now I am a deeply religious person.”
Letter from Lipetsk region, village of Poddubovka
“I had a terrible attack, they took me to the hospital by car, after examinations the doctors diagnosed inflammation of the intestine, the doctors’ decision was unanimous - just to operate. My blood pressure suddenly rose and my urgent surgery was postponed.
The next morning I was sent to the oncology clinic, but I was in no hurry to hear the terrible diagnosis, and decided to try to start with traditional medicine treatment, read a lot of books and notes, but everything was to no avail.
From a friend I heard about the healing prayer to Saint Charbel, but to be honest, sincere faith did not immediately awaken in me, for which I now deeply repent.
But the Almighty taught me a lesson, after reading a prayer to the Lord, I turned to Saint Charbel, placing his face on the sore spot, and then something incredible began. I felt a terrible pull in my arms and legs, my bones hurt, and I even became so numb that I couldn’t scream. After I came to my senses, I became very scared, but only then did I understand that this was how the Saint was saving me from a terrible illness.
My health improved and there was no surgery.”
Letter from Nina Arkhipovna Dolgikh
“A real miracle happened in my life. I underwent surgery, my gallbladder was removed, after which I was tormented by terrible abdominal pain and heaviness, the pain was so sharp that I could no longer endure it.
I have the image of Saint Charbel at home, and I turned to him with a prayer for help, after praying, I turned to put the icon on the bedside table, the corner of the blanket fell back and I saw a bright lump of light under it.
Of course, at first I was very scared, but after a few minutes I began to feel the pain receding, and gradually went away completely.
Since then the pain has not tormented me anymore.
I am, of course, a sinful person, and to this day I ask myself: why exactly was such grace bestowed upon me? This is an unanswered question, but apparently it’s not given to me to know about it.
Have faith in your healing prayer and may God’s grace descend upon you.”
It is difficult to overestimate the power of prayer, which in difficult times helps a person not to give up and fight problems. They are pronounced in the name of God, Christ and various saints. One of them is Saint Charbel, who performs miracles even after his death.
Who is Saint Charbel?
Youssef Makhlouf is a famous Lebanese Christian monk who is revered by the Catholic Church. For believers, he is better known as Charbel. Yusef was born into a poor family, where his mother was a believer, and she became for him an example of love for God. From early childhood, Youssef showed the gift of healing, helping many people fight illnesses. As a young man, Makhlouf graduated from the seminary, became a priest, and in adulthood decided to lead the life of a hermit. The holy monk Charbel, thanks to his prayers, could change the weather and protect people from misfortunes.
Miracles of Saint Charbel
The monk began to surprise people during his lifetime by making prophecies. He could predict deaths at a distance and the places where the image of the Virgin Mary would appear. In his visions, the Earth was covered with luminous points and each of them was an image of a statue of the Virgin Mary, which was located in his home. Before becoming a monk, he predicted that statues would stream myrrh and that it would change people’s lives, and this happened in 1984.
This is only a small list of predictions that the saint made during his lifetime. Youssef Makhlouf wrote a lot, discussing various topics. Most of all, he was worried about the disappearance of true faith and the spread of hypocrisy among people. He also wrote about the numerous temptations that prevent a person from approaching God. He was worried about the lack of a moral, spiritual, religious leader.
The monk became famous thanks to numerous miracles that believers observe even after death. The phenomenon of Saint Charbel appeared some time after his death, when the next day people noticed an inexplicable glow above the place where the body rested. A year later, the crypt was opened and they saw that the body remained incorrupt and there was no smell, and there was perspiration on the body in the form of a pinkish liquid. Doctors tried for a long time to explain the phenomenon, but the mystery was never solved.
They began to talk about the miracles of Saint Charbel even more after the manifestation of his healing power. After the monk’s body was displayed in a glass coffin, pilgrims came to him and got rid of various diseases. Believers who could not come sent letters to the temple with their photographs and hair and they were attached to the coffin, which helped people get help from a distance. The international Lebanese center keeps records of numerous healings.

Charbel's prayer must be read from a pure heart with unshakable faith in a positive result. It is better to address the monk in front of the face, which is recommended to be kept in your home.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen".
Saint Charbel and Orthodoxy
Many people wonder whether an Orthodox person can turn to a monk for help. To understand this topic, one should turn to the opinions of clergy. Before canonizing someone, the Orthodox Church creates a commission that studies life and posthumous miracles. Since Saint Charbel is a Catholic, the Orthodox Church has no right to decide the issue of his holiness, and therefore a person of such faith cannot turn to him in his prayers.
The Orthodox faith has many different saints who are considered healers and miracle workers, so you should address your requests to them. It is worth noting that many articles have been written about the life and miracles created by the monk, but the most famous is the book presented by A.B. Bayukansky "Saint Charbel". It describes many interesting facts, including the fact that the monk belongs to the Maronite community.
Religious reading: monk sharbel prayer to help our readers.
Holy Father Charbel (in ancient Arabic the name “Charbel” is translated as Shar - king, Bel - God) performed more than twenty thousand miracles in Lebanon and Syria, in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, Poland and Germany, France and Africa, in the USA .
Any miracle of healing today is carefully studied not only by senior religious figures, but also by doctors and scientists. And if the facts of healing are officially confirmed, then the healer is given special honor - the Church recognizes him as a saint. And Father Charbel was elevated to the rank of saint in October 1977.

Nothing helps a person stay afloat like faith. It is she who moves him forward, and sometimes only faith can perform such miracles, from which all scientists, accustomed to looking at all phenomena from the point of view of the possibility of their origin, are simply lost and do not know how to interpret from this position what ordinary people tell them , and what appears before their own eyes.
Religion knows many miracle workers. During their lifetime, few people believed them; many called them charlatans and magicians. For the most part, they were hermits and outcasts who lived far from the big world, but at the same time helped those who needed it. After their death, many of them were canonized, and today crowds of pilgrims go to their relics. Some are out of curiosity, while others cherish in their souls fragments of broken hope in their hopeless situation, when absolutely everyone is powerless, and there is nowhere to wait for help.
One of these miracle workers is Saint Charbel, a monk and healer who lived, if not the longest, then a truly blessed life, and performed a huge number of miracles around the world after his death.
Today, the Annaya Monastery in Lebanon, where the saint died and where his body is located, which has not decomposed after almost 116 years, is a place of pilgrimage where more than a million people from almost 100 countries have visited with their misfortune. Most of them immediately received the help of the saint and were healed of their illnesses. Every sufferer who has an icon of Saint Charbel in their home believes that it can work no less miracles than his body if applied to a sore spot. But how did the monk live his earthly life, what kind of miracles did he perform, how did he help people, and why does his body, after a century, remain incorruptible and again bring people hope for recovery? Let's try to answer these questions.
Earthly life
Saint Charbel received the name Youssef Makhlouf at birth. He grew up in a peasant family in one of the villages of Lebanon, being born in 1828. He was a silent and modest child, always trying to be alone. The boy's love for his mother, who was known as a very religious woman, was strong.
Already in his early years he was called a saint, as he almost always prayed. When he was grazing goats in the mountains, he found a grotto, which he adapted for prayers, making an altar there and placing images of the Blessed Virgin and the Lord there.
Having lived the first 23 years of his life in his native village, he became stronger in his desire to devote himself to God, went as a pilgrim to the town of Meifuk and became a novice in the monastery there.
After completing his five-year studies in Krifan, he returned to Annaya, where he lived until his death in 1898.
In front of the monastery, where the monk’s body rests, a monument was erected: Saint Charbel (you can see a photo of the monument below) stands with his hand raised on a pedestal with steps leading to him, on which believers are always present, kissing and stroking his metal clothes, warm to the touch. The last inexplicable phenomenon is connected precisely with this monument. When the Pope announced Charbel's canonization in Rome, his right hand was raised as if he were greeting the faithful. Who knows, maybe this is not the last miracle in the chain of those that have already happened.
Prophecies
For the first time, Yusef prophesied the appearance of the image of the Virgin Mary in different parts of the Earth. In his vision, the Earth glowed from many points, and each point was an image of a statue of the Virgin Mary that stood in their house. This prophecy has come true.
Before accepting monasticism, he spoke about the streaming of myrrh from icons and statues of the Mother of God, which, according to him, was supposed to force people to change their lives. This event happened in 1984.
Saint Charbel also spoke about the appearance of a woman who would speak through the mouth of the Most Pure Virgin and endure much suffering, which happened a year earlier than the myrrh flow he predicted, in 1983 in Argentina.
He wrote and prophesied a lot. Basically, he was concerned about the fall of true faith, the spread of hypocrisy, a huge number of temptations, as well as the lack of a moral, spiritual, religious leader.
What preceded the miracles?
The monk died at the age of 71, having spent the last 25 years as a hermit working in the vineyard. He voluntarily lived in Spartan conditions: eating once a day, sleeping on the floor of his cell, a log instead of a pillow. He grew grapes, worked tirelessly and successfully healed peasants from the surrounding area, refusing help and support to anyone.
Perhaps his righteous life was the reason that he continued to heal people after death. This began with the amazing events that occurred a few days after Saint Charbel left the earthly world.
The beginning of the inexplicable
The monk was buried in early 1898, and the next day a strange glow was noticed above the monastery of St. Maron, where his body rested, attracting crowds of onlookers. Then it was not connected in any way with Saint Charbel. But in the spring of 1899, due to circumstances, the crypt had to be opened, and then it was discovered that the body remained absolutely incorruptible, flexible and elastic, without the characteristic cadaveric odor. Doctors were called and confirmed the monk's death.
They could not find out the reason for this phenomenon, but perspiration appeared on the body in the form of a pink liquid - ichor, it did not harden or smolder. A council of doctors struggled with this riddle, putting forward the version that Saint Charbel somehow ate a special diet during his lifetime. However, this version was refuted, and no other explanations were found.
Healing power
In 1909, the body was placed in a glass-lidded coffin and left on public display. Lines of pilgrims reached out to the coffin, received healing from mental illness, rose to their feet, regained their sight and began to hear. Those who could not come sent letters with photographs and hair of themselves to be attached to the coffin and then sent back to them.
Each healing was documented, and the remaining items from the healed pilgrims - splints, crutches, orthopedic shoes and letters - are kept in the International Center of Saint Charbel in Lebanon.
The ichor was released for almost 20 years, but the body did not turn into a mummy. Moisture seemed to come from nowhere, which confused scientists and doctors. Lost in conjecture, they could not and still cannot explain what was happening.
How to ask for help?
Anyone who needs healing and wants to turn to the saint for help will be helped by a printed image that can be applied to the sore spots.
The prayer to Saint Charbel, which exists in two versions, will also be effective. There is a nine-day cycle of turning directly to the saint, which consists of nine prayers read in order, each on a specific day. By reading them daily, the believer asks the saint for what he would like. As a rule, this concerns health.
There is also a separate method of conversion, in which the believer asks God to feel the support and care of a monk-healer, and also to receive help from him.
Whatever the prayer to Saint Charbel chosen by the sufferer, a nine-day cycle or a traditional one-time appeal, the facts speak for themselves - it can really help to recover or at least improve the state of health.
A look from a scientific point of view
Of course, today there is still debate about why a person miraculously recovers after making a pilgrimage to the tomb of a Lebanese monk. Numerous studies have been carried out, but scientists and doctors cannot scientifically explain the phenomenon of Saint Charbel and understand how a body that has been lying in a coffin for more than a century looks as if the person died a few hours ago and gives healing to pilgrims.
Various experiments were carried out repeatedly, the purpose of which was to shed light on the miracles taking place. The most eminent experts in their field from all over the world were involved in the research. Sometimes absolutely barbaric procedures were carried out on the body, no matter what, it remained in its condition.
Our country has not remained aloof from studying this phenomenon. Writer Anatoly Bayukansky, who repeatedly visited Lebanon and talked with those whom the monk helped, in 2013 published another book about him entitled “Saint Charbel. Help from heaven." In it, he talked about the life of a healer, described in detail all the miracles that he performed both during life and after death, and also made attempts to explain them from a rational point of view.
But does it really matter how it happens? If a person knows exactly why he is recovering, it will no longer be called a miracle. It will also be possible to predict the likelihood of healing, and someone’s unclean hands will put this matter on stream. It is then that all the magic will disappear, and people will lose the hope and faith that they sometimes need so much.
Prayer for the icon of Saint Charbel
Here is a prayer that can be used when attaching an image of Saint Charbel:
“Our Lord, infinitely Holy! You
the feat of the holy hermit monk to live and
die like Jesus Christ. Izhe gave it to him
the great Life-Giving Power of deliverance
people from all illnesses and diseases.
Lord, we beg You, send us mercy
To love and serve You like Saint Charbel.
Almighty Lord who has shown mercy
show your saint many miracles
and show great favors, descend
to God's servant(s) (name), let me feel
special mercy and care of Saint Charbel.
Help me through the efforts of the holy monk
heal all my mental illnesses
and bodily. Let it be so. Our Father, glory to You!
* You need to apply the image of the saint to the sore spot and hold it for half an hour to two hours, depending on the pain. Some people fix the image on a sore spot and during sleep.
* You must definitely believe that Saint Charbel will definitely help.
* Sick Russians, whom Saint Charbel has already helped, are advised to mentally ask for help from the Lord through Saint Charbel during these unique treatment sessions, and having received relief, they should thank Charbel and the Lord.
* If a person applies an image to a sore spot with mockery, with disdain, then he is unlikely to receive healing, because only a deep faith in deliverance from troubles will benefit you.
* According to the observations of the patients whom Saint Charbel helped, there is no need to immediately ask for help from all diseases at once, but as retired colonel, space center engineer Alexander Nikolaevich Besedin advises, you should first get rid of one disease, then after a couple of days ask for healing from another, and so, gradually, move on to ridding the entire body.
* Be patient. You should not think that for any difficult illness, healing will come immediately; sometimes people feel relief after 20-30 minutes, and sometimes they have to wait hours and days for help from Saint Charbel.

The international Lebanese center keeps records of numerous healings.
Prayer to Saint Charbel
For decades, people have been turning to the monk for help with numerous requests. More often people come to him asking for healing, for example, he helps restore vision, speed up the healing process of deep wounds, get rid of various ailments and even oncology. To contact a monk, you can simply print out a photo, attach it to the sore spot and read a prayer. The Lebanese saint Charbel helps not only in healing, but also in fulfilling wishes and solving various problems.
Saint Charbel - prayer for the fulfillment of desires
A huge number of people from different parts of the world confirm that sincere prayer requests from a pure heart have fulfilled their cherished desire. Charbel's prayer must be read from a pure heart with unshakable faith in a positive result. It is better to address the monk in front of the face, which is recommended to be kept in your home. In order for the holy healer Charbel to help, it is better to say prayers every day, not forgetting to thank for the help.
Saint Charbel - prayer of healing
You can turn to a monk in different situations, so he will help not only reduce headaches, but also get rid of serious diseases. To begin with, it is recommended to attach the image of the monk to the sore spot and only then read the prayer of Saint Charbel for recovery. If the pain is severe and the situation is more complex, then the photo can be tied to the problem area throughout the night. It is important not to use the same image to treat people at the same time.
Prayer to Saint Charbel in money
As already mentioned, the monk helps believers cope with various problems, even material ones. It is important to contact him with requests, not to get rich, but to receive a certain amount for an important matter, for example, for the operation of a loved one. Saint Charbel's help is to create the appropriate energy that will help achieve your goals and receive money. There are nine different prayers, each of which has great power and helps believers. In this case, it is recommended to use this option:
“Saint Charbel, the hermit who went through suffering, whom our Lord Jesus Christ made a bright beacon, I turn to you and ask through you for mercy (request). I trust you, amen!
O Saint Charbel, fragrant vessel, ask for me. All-forgiving Lord, whom Saint Charbel glorified by giving him the grace to work miracles, and to me, grant me what I ask through his intercession.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Saint Charbel and Orthodoxy
Many people wonder whether an Orthodox person can turn to a monk for help. To understand this topic, one should turn to the opinions of clergy. Before canonizing someone, the Orthodox Church creates a commission that studies life and posthumous miracles. Since Saint Charbel is a Catholic, the Orthodox Church has no right to decide the issue of his holiness, and therefore a person of such faith cannot turn to him in his prayers.
The Orthodox faith has many different saints who are considered healers and miracle workers, so you should address your requests to them. It is worth noting that many articles have been written about the life and miracles created by the monk, but the most famous is the book presented by A.B. Bayukansky "Saint Charbel". It describes many interesting facts, including the fact that the monk belongs to the Maronite community.
We are talking about the Lebanese Christian monk Saint Charbel. What is this saint of God famous for? With his ascetic, hermit life and his miracles, which he continues to perform today. Holy Father Charbel (by the way, in ancient Arabic the name “Charbel” is translated as follows: Shar is the king, Bel is God) performed more than twenty thousand miracles in Lebanon and Syria, in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, Poland and Germany, France and Africa , in USA. Any miracle is an extraordinary event. Any miracle of healing today is carefully studied not only by senior religious figures, but also by doctors and scientists. And if the facts of healing are officially confirmed, then the applicant - an outstanding person - is given special honor - the Church, elevates him to the rank of a saint. And Father Charbel was elevated to the rank of saint in October 1977. The monastery in the town of Annaya, where the incorrupt body of the holy monk has rested for more than a hundred years, was visited by more than a million people from 95 countries. Many pilgrims immediately received healing from their illnesses.
Article “The Mystery of Saint Charbel” Sergey Demkin
Magic photography can give everyone healing from ailments. It is known that many saints could miraculously heal people, and they did this both during their lifetime and after their death. How did they do it?
Together with the director of the Moscow Institute of Information Wave Technologies (MIIVT), Doctor of Technical Sciences Valery Hokkanen, we conducted an experiment at his institute with a rather unusual goal: to measure the electromagnetic radiation of photographs of psychics.
Previously, I did not believe in the healing power of charged session photographs. But then I read a collection of works of the Ukrainian Academy of Medical Sciences, which contained a report on an interesting experiment carried out at the Kharkov Research Institute of Clinical and Experimental Neurology and Psychiatry. The influence of photography by the famous bioenergy therapist V.A. Sadyrin on the state of the body was studied. Laboratory rats and 14 human volunteers were taken as test subjects. The results of the experiment looked impressive: in people there were changes in biopotentials in all parts of the brain and vascular tone, suppression of pain, optimization of adrenaline levels, in rats there were also changes in a number of biochemical parameters.
The experiment at MIIVT gave a completely unexpected result. Checking Sadyrin's photographs using ultra-sensitive equipment showed that they have electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with an ordered frequency spectrum, similar to radiation from healthy human organs. Moreover, EMR with precisely these frequencies is used in information-wave medical techniques for treating patients, only their special electronic devices emit
When I told my friend German Arutyunov, who works in a popular science magazine, about this, he advised me to repeat the experiment with a photograph of Saint Charbel. I confess that I did not want to waste time on a photo of a long-dead saint, since in the course of previous experiments it turned out that the emissions from photographs of deceased people contained only a chaotic set of frequencies.
Then Herman handed me a stack of letters in which readers told about how the photograph of Saint Charbel had a healing effect on a variety of diseases! Here is an excerpt from one such letter: Recently I was in the hospital and took with me a magazine with his photograph... I can say what I witnessed. One woman, who was farsighted and could not read without glasses, applied Saint Charbel to her eyes, and then was able to read the newspaper. Another got a lump after the injection (they hit a bone or something). I attached a photo - two days later the lump resolved. The third had pain in her arm above the elbow and she could not lift it. I attached a photograph to my hand, and the next day I was surprised that my hand could easily lift up without any pain. There were other letters in the same spirit. The first thing that came to mind: the healing effect of Saint Charbel’s photo was simply the result of self-hypnosis. After all, sometimes it really works wonders. But still, it was necessary to check this - judging by the letters, there were too many people who miraculously suddenly began to be healed through self-hypnosis.
To be honest, both I and the MIIVT employees who were to carry out radiation measurements were very skeptical. But then a familiar fence of healthy frequencies began to grow on the monitor screen. They took several more measurements - the result was the same: the photograph of the deceased saint emitted the same frequencies that the medical equipment generates! By all the strictest standards, this was a real miracle; photographs of the deceased could actually heal, as they spread healthy electromagnetic radiation. It is clear that after such a successful experiment, I began to collect information about Saint Charbel.
During his lifetime, he was an undistinguished monk-hermit of a Christian monastery in Lebanon, who spent the last 25 years in complete solitude. He worked in the garden and vineyard. I ate once a day - at two o'clock in the afternoon, and mostly plant foods. He slept in his cell without any heating on a bare stone floor, putting a log under his head instead of a pillow. Died at the age of seventy.
Miracles began after his death. On New Year's morning in 1898, along a narrow, snow-covered mountain road, hermit monks carried a simple coffin in which their deceased brother Charbel lay. The coffin was placed in the monastery crypt in the town of Annaya at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level.
And on the second day, residents of a mountain village saw a strange glow above the monastery of St. Marun, where Charbel’s body rested, which, judging by eyewitnesses, was similar to luminescence. At that time there was no electricity in the mountains. Therefore, the glow that did not stop for many months attracted crowds of curious people who specially came from afar to see it. But then no one yet suspected that the strange glow was somehow connected with the late hermit monk. For the first time they started talking about Charbel’s miracle almost a year and a half later.
It began with the fact that on April 15, 1898, a police squad went to the mountains in search of a criminal killer. Seeing the light above the monastery of St. Marun, the detectives hurried there and demanded to open the crypt, thinking that a criminal was hiding there. The monks opened the heavy metal door and the police began a thorough inspection of the crypt. They didn't find the killer there, but they did see something amazing. Spring waters flooded the crypt. The remains of all the monks buried at the same time as Charbel were destroyed. And only his body was not touched by decomposition. True, his face and hands were covered with fungal mold, similar to cotton wool. But when it was removed, people saw the face not of a dead person, but of a sleeping person. There was even perspiration on it in the form of pink ichor. All the members of the body were flexible and elastic, and there was no cadaverous smell coming from it.
The monks dressed the deceased in dry clothes and transferred him to the monastery storeroom, where he was later examined by doctors called by the police. The law enforcement officers were so struck by the appearance of Charbel that they wondered if the dead man was sleeping in a lethargic sleep. It turned out, no, he was dead. Meanwhile, his body continued to sweat so much ichor that his clothes had to be changed every day. One of the monks once decided to dry his body in the sun. This drying and airing continued for four months, but did not produce any result. Everything continued as before. Doctors, baffled by the dead man's strange behavior, suggested removing all internal organs from his body. The deceased Charbel underwent surgery and cleaned out the abdominal cavity. But this also did not give anything: the corpse did not decompose, continued to secrete a pinkish liquid, and the muscle tissue remained soft and elastic.
Looking ahead, it must be said that now in the Saint Charbel Museum at the Saint Marun Monastery there are hundreds of crutches, orthopedic shoes, and splints on display that were left there by healed sufferers. And here’s what is completely inexplicable: for 17 years the body did not stop sweating ichor, did not dry out and did not turn into a mummy. The skin remained light and there was no cadaverous odor.
In 1927, Charbel was transferred to a zinc coffin, which was placed in a wooden one. In 1950, it was noticed that a gelatinous pink liquid was flowing down the walls of the crypt where the coffin was located. The coffins were opened - no changes. But if his body secretes at least three grams of liquid per day, then from the day of death the monk would have to lose 57 kilograms, that is, turn into relics. But that did not happen.
In 1977, Friar Charbel was finally recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. After this, an endless stream of letters poured into the monastery of St. Maroun. Nowadays, patients from 95 countries who cannot travel there themselves send photographs and strands of hair by mail with a request to place them on the coffin of St. Charbel and then return them, hoping in this way to receive healing from their ailments.
As for the healing effects of the remains of Saint Charbel, I will cite what was told by Dr. Irina Sakr, who struggled for a long time to unravel the mystery of the saint: In 1991, I climbed the mountains to Saint Charbel with a group of volunteers to study the bioenergy of people before and after contact with him. The first group are patients with wartime neuroses, whom I treated during the war in Lebanon. This group had very low values, ranging from 10-20 μA on the scale of the Bion-I device. The second group consists of healthy people with normal values on the Bion-I scale depending on age. The third group - people whose readings exceeded 100-200 μA, and in one woman reached 900 μA. By the way, among the local population she was famous as a specialist in removing the evil eye. These people are generally healthy, but they sometimes suffer from excess energy. I let all those tested for contact with Saint Charbel into the crypt one at a time so that there is no exchange of energy between themselves while they are there. Volunteers from the first group come first, then from the second and third. I ask everyone to keep their palms directed towards the body of the saint. After their 20-minute contact, I measure the energy of each using Bion-I. In the subjects of the second group, Bion-I shows the same results as before contact with Saint Charbel, that is, without changes. Completely unexpected results in the third group of subjects: Bion-I showed a decrease in their energy to normal levels.
After contact with Saint Charbel, everyone experiences a good, joyful mood and calmness. Summarizing our data, we can say that some replenished their energy deficit after contact with Saint Charbel; others who do not need it remained at the same level, taking the good mood away from him; still others seemed to give away their excess energy, which was a burden to them.
After the experiment, the chief abbot of the monastery, Father Tom, invited them to share a modest meal. There are a lot of questions at the table. The monks were especially interested in: how long will the energy of Saint Charbel last? It is clear to them that the power is given to the saint from God. And with all this, they were interested in questions of a scientific explanation of this phenomenon. Sakr remembered the doctor Shafika Karagul. She studied extrasensory perception in humans at the University of California. Sakr spoke about one of her experiments. Dr. Shafika asked a psychic woman to charge a piece of meat with her energy every day for 15 minutes for 15 days. This piece of meat, charged with a psychic, has been lying on the window for 30 years and has not decomposed. This means that the psychic’s energy creates a shell around the biological object that prevents its decomposition.
And this is to this day the only explanation for the first miracle of Saint Charbel - the insusceptibility of his body to decomposition. The second miracle - the appearance of a healing electromagnetic charge in all of Charbel's photos - still has to be classified as divine. After all, it is known that psychics (like the above-mentioned Sadyrin) charge photographs themselves, that is, alive. And Charbel does this after death. Somehow or by someone's will, his incorruptible body retains its miraculous ability.
By applying the image to the sore spot and mentally, humbly asking for help from Saint Charbel, you can be healed of many diseases.
