In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor sits down with Victor Kopen to talk about his son. A father witnesses a rosary turn "smoking hot" while praying for his newborn son who had been revived four times.
Whether you're a parent facing great uncertainty, or just curious about the intercession of the saints and modern miracles, this conversation will inspire you with powerful testimony to the movement of the Holy Spirit in the world today.
What You’ll Hear:
• The story of Victor's son, Pierce, who was born seemingly healthy but was later diagnosed with PPHN (persistent pulmonary hypertension of a newborn), requiring doctors and residents to revive him four times before he was flown to Pittsburgh.
• The astonishing event where Victor prayed the rosary—which he had laid on a relic of St. Padre Pio's bloodstained glove—and the rosary became "smoking hot," causing his baby to convulse and his oxygen saturation to immediately jump from the low 90s to an "unnaturally high" $100 \%$.
• How Victor reached a pivotal moment of complete surrender to God's will, after which he was instantly enveloped in an unworldly, unconditional love from the Holy Spirit, and the heartwarming post-script of his now-healthy son referring to St. Padre Pio as "my buddy".
