Disease and healing

St. Trudpert Monastery

At the end of 1989 she became life-threatening. Her mother advised her to come back to India to attend a charismatic day of prayer in Potta under the guidance of Father Mathew Naikomparambil . After participating, she was healed. According to her stories, she heard an inner voice at that time, which told her the following: Go and preach the word of God throughout Europe and bring everyone the joy and peace that you have experienced here.

Since 1993 she has been released partially and in April 1996 completely for this missionary task within her religious community. Sister Margaritha organizes and leads retreats with Indian and German priests in Haus Raphael, Bad Soden and other parts of the world. Her retreats have been broadcast on K-TV since 2010 .

criticism

The practices carried out in the Raphael house under the direction of Sister Margaritha have been considered strongly charismatic, Pentecostal and enthusiastic for years, which is why the institution was revoked the title "Catholic" in 2004.
