Healing

"I have heard your prayer and seen your tears, I will heal you." (2Kgs 20:5)
"Sickness is a harbinger of death. Jesus cured the sick as a countersign: in the reign of God, there will be neither illness nor dying. By taking death upon himself on the cross, Jesus cured the one incurable reality that haunts the human race: mortality." (from Magnificat, July 2010, p. 373)

Fr. McAlear also spoke about healing. He said that people want healing, they need healing. People hunger for healing -- if they don't have true bread, they will go for anything that holds promise....
But it's not so much about the healing itself, but to go through the healing to the heart of Christ. It's about relationship....

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
