What happens when doctors say a condition is irreversible, but God has other plans?
On The Drew Mariani Show, Drew welcomes Dr. Anne Borik, a Catholic physician and founder of the St. Charbel Global Network, to explore the extraordinary miracles attributed to St. Charbel, a humble Lebanese monk who devoted his life to prayer, silence, and the Holy Eucharist.
In 2016, Daphne Gutierrez, a 31-year-old Arizona woman, had been blind for nearly five years due to intracranial hypertension, a condition that severely damaged her optic nerves.
When St. Charbel’s relics visited St. Joseph’s Maronite Catholic Church in Phoenix, Daphne went to confession, received the Eucharist, and was blessed with holy oil.
The following day, she began seeing shadows. Within 48 hours, her vision had reportedly returned to 20/20.
Dr. Borik, who led the medical investigation, examined the records and found no apparent medical explanation.
“It was a beautiful testimony to God’s power,” she told Drew.
But what about those who pray for healing and never receive a miracle?
Dr. Borik encourages the faithful to imitate St. Charbel’s humility, spend time in Eucharistic Adoration, and trust in God’s will.
His example reminds us that holiness isn’t measured by extraordinary healings, but by faithfulness to Christ, no matter what.
Whether facing illness, anxiety, or seemingly impossible circumstances, we’re invited to surrender our burdens to God, trusting that His grace is always at work.
