Fr. Weninger relates the following of St. Ammonius: “One day, [parents] brought a child which had become raving mad. When its parents begged him to restore it to health by his prayers, he said: ‘My prayer is not so mighty before the throne of God, as to work a miracle on your child; but you yourselves can cure it. Return the steer that you stole from the poor widow, and the health of your child will be restored.’ The parents, greatly surprised that the holy hermit knew, by divine revelation, the theft of which they had been guilty, obeyed him, returned the steer to the widow; and the child was immediately cured of its misery.” (Fr. Francis Xavier Weninger, in his work “Lives of the Saints”.)
