I have always been a firmly believing Catholic. I go to church week, pray everyday, and strongly believe in God. One day in 1992 (I was either 11 or 12 then), I came down with a bad case of the flu. I was running a 104 fever and I was so weak I could hardly walk, let alone go to the bathroom when I wated to. Well, after about the third day of this misery, I finally, after praying of course, went to sleep. I suddenly awoke at about 3 A.M. and I say this person hovering over me. I, naturally, asked "Who are you?" and he replied "I am Saint Matthew (I knew he was the apostle because of the way he was dressed). He then floated nearer towards me and touched my forehead and then he disappeared. After that, I looked at the clock and it was a couple of minutes later than looking at it the first time so I knew that I had not been dreaming. I prayed thanking God for what just happened and went back to sleep. The next morning I woke up and had to go to the bathroom bad so I jumped right out of bed and went! I also checked my temperature and it read 98.6! I then thanked God again for what happened and I went out to play. Ever since then whenever I pray I always ask for St. Matthew's help and protection.
