On September 26, 1987 Andre accompanied family and friends to the monastery of Kfifane where he prayed fervently at the grave of Fr. Hardini. The people around him heard him say “I beg you, Fr. Al-Hardini, give me a drop of blood for I am so tired to the point where I can’t even beg for blood on the street.” He then asked to wear the monastic habit, moments later he was cured, and cried out with joy, “I wore the monastic habit, I am cured, I don’t need blood anymore!” Andre has not required any blood transfusions since that day, and in 1991 he married Rola Salim Raad. They have two children, a son named Charbel and a daughter named Rafca. Today, Andre is in excellent health.

Nimutallah al-Hardini’s Beatification by Pope John Paul II was held at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome on Sunday May 10, 1998. The Maronite Church celebrates his feast day on the 14th of December.

Another miracle occurred to a Melkite Catholic man, Mickael Kfoury from the town Watta El- Mrouge.  An incurable illness was attacking both of his legs, which rendered them dry, devoid of flesh, and twisted to the point of crippling him. His doctors had abandoned all hope of a cure. Having heard of the miracles that Father Nimatullah was performing this man decided to visit Father Nimatullah’s tomb in Kfifan and ask for his healing. He slept the night at the monastery, and while he was in deep sleep an old monk appeared to him saying: “Stand up and go and help the Monks carry in the grapes from the vineyard.” He immediately replied: “Don’t you see me paralysed, how can I walk and carry the grapes?” The Monk answered: “Take this pair of shoes, wear them and walk.” The sick man then took the shoes and tried to stretch out his right leg, and to his surprise he was able to do so! He woke up and started to feel both of his legs which were now full of blood and flesh, and after he stood up he found himself totally healed.

After his death, God granted many healings and miracles through the intercession of the “Saint of Kfifan.” One such healing was granted to an Orthodox blind man, Moussa Saliba, from the town of Btegrin (El- Maten). Moussa Saliba visited Nimatullah’s tomb, praying and asking for his blessing. A deep sleep overcame Moussa Saliba, and then Father Nimatullah appeared to him and healed his eyes, enabling him to see clearly.

Father Nimatullah wanted to celebrate his daily mass but his usual altar-boy did not arrive to church on time. Father Nimatullah then went to the boy’s room and asked him to get up and serve mass. The altar boy was not able to because he had a high fever. Father Nimatullah then requested the boy to stand up, whereupon he ordered the malady to “Leave him…” Immediately, the boy was cured and he went and served Father Nimatullah’s mass with joy and liveliness
