  2. A Cure for a Mote in the Eye

    Share Share Post
    A woman who lives in Mohill has a cure for a mote in the eye. First she gets a cup and saucer, and fills the cup with water. Then she kneels down and says prayers. When she has the prayers said, she takes a mouthful of water out of the cup, and throws it out of her mouth in on the saucer. Then the mote can easily be seen in the water on the saucer. This is a good cure, because Eugene Leddy got cured this way.
