My grandmother, thanks be to God, kept the Catholic faith very strong. After the murder of my grandfather, the police came to check the house. In those times, it was a very furious period of atheism. There could be no signs of Christianity. It was forbidden even in the houses, but my grandmother had a house full of sacred pictures on the walls. She was very pious. The police came in and saw all these beautiful holy pictures and said, “This is forbidden. We are living in a time when you have to take these pictures off the wall.”
My grandmother refused, saying, “No, I will not do this.”
Then, the policeman himself went to the wall and tried to take them off. In this moment, my grandmother shouted at him, “You have not put the pictures here, and you do not have the right to take this away.”
He was shocked because in those times of terror, all people were afraid of the police, because they could shoot them to death. In this moment, my grandmother had supernatural courage. She was usually a very modest, calm, and timid lady, but she had an extraordinary courage. She shouted to the police, and he was shocked. He did nothing, and went away, and they left her, and no one touched her. So, I consider this a miracle, a protection of God.
