Nousseira and the miracle at the cistern

During her 42 years in the Congregation of the Rosary Sisters, the great mystic Sr. Alphonsine showed herself to be extremely practical. She was a woman of action who, at the same time, never put down her Rosary. She was always ready to move from one place to another to found convents, schools for the education of Arabian youth and orphanages, be it in Salt, Jordan where she also cared for the Bedouins or in the Holy Land.

Just a few months after their vows, the young sisters would be sent out, always in pairs. So Sr. Alphonsine set out for Jaffa, Galilee in July 1885, accompanied by another sister and her spiritual director Fr. Joseph Tannous. Her first “convent” and her first “school” initially consisted of two miserable makeshift rooms, the larger of which served as a classroom for 35 girls and the second one barely having space for two beds.

During the day, one of the beds had to give way to a desk. The two Rosary Sisters endured this situation for almost a year before the superior of the Poor Clares in Nazareth gave them a little money with which they set up two more rooms. Four weeks before the inauguration ceremony, on April 14, 1886, a spectacular miracle took place which was recorded by a number of eye witnesses.

On this day, Nousseira Habib el’ Id el Issa, a 12-year-old Greek Orthodox girl, had volunteered to help the sisters clean the stone floor in their house’s addition. When she went to draw water, she fell into the 25 foot deep cistern. Sr. Catherine screamed for help, but it took ten minutes before a few men arrived with a rope. Although the girl floated twice to the surface, she was already unconscious and therefore did not reach for the rope.

The villagers who had rushed to the scene started yelling at the sisters, blaming them for everything that had happened, and the girl’s relatives tore their clothes in desperation. The villagers immediately declared that the sisters would pay dearly for her death.

Without defending herself, Sr. Alphonsine accepted the accusations and hurried with a few children into the church where she started praying the Rosary before the Blessed Sacrament. She returned to the scene of the accident with the Rosary still in her hand, and one of the angry Arabs yelled, “You should burn with your Rosary and your Hail Marys!” He then shoved her so hard that she fell to the ground. She stood up quickly, pushed her way through the crowd and tossed her Rosary into the cistern. She called out, “Queen of the Rosary, save the child, and help us in our great need!”

Those around her started laughing and mocked her saying, “Your Mary can’t help you any more in this situation. The girl has drowned; she sunk to the bottom almost an hour ago.”

Sr. Alphonsine was not deterred, however, and returned to the church with the group of children and continued with the Rosary. Meanwhile, Sr. Catherine stayed at the well and lowered a bucket down to the bottom. Suddenly the rope moved. As the sister pulled up the bucket withthe help of one of the Arabs, a head suddenly appeared and then, to the great surprise of the people, Nousseira was standing in the bucket with the Rosary around her neck.

As if nothing had happened, she hugged the teacher and told her, “While I was under water, I felt the bright, shining Rosary fall on me and come to rest on my hands and neck. The whole cistern was filled with light. I felt perfectly relaxed in the water, like lying on a lounge chair. I saw many people at the opening of the cistern and heard a voice call out to me, ‘Grab the rope!’ I took hold of it and came out safe and sound.”

Sr. Catherine hurried to the church and re-ported the miraculous rescue to Sr. Alphonsine who was still praying. As Sr. Alphonsine walked out of the church, Nousseira joyfully ran up to her unable to hide her excitement, “I am so happy about what I saw in the cistern, brightly illuminated by the Rosary. I am sad that they pulled me up so quickly.”

The effects of the miracle were unprecedented: The girl and her family converted from the Orthodox Faith to Catholicism, as did the local Protestant teacher, her mother and a number of students. The Protestant school was closed and the sisters’ classrooms quickly became too small. Nousseira prayed the Rosary every day with the sisters, and even years after the accident, she was more than willing to recount the miraculous rescue and her thankfulness to anybody who was interested.
