Healing

    For the Greater Glory of God.

At a Jesuit parish in DC named Saint Aloysius a remarkable event packed the place;  not a standard catholic liturgy , but more like an amped up Christ in the City event, a 

charismatic Catholic prayer meeting that looked like the Toronto Blessing only very Catholic

with actual roman collared priests bringing up people who were healed to tell their testimonies. 

This was led by a community called Cor et Lumen Christie (body and light Christ) and their 

unbelievably gifted charismatic founder/leader Damien.   He is the real deal and if you have never heard him you need to invite him to lead a meeting at your Parish.  He is the Hope 

for the New Evangelism.

Just goes to show you that the Holy Spirit reaches all congregational divides-

because the same sort of services exist in protestant evangelical circles.

Protestantism is mostly protesting the abuses of the church when it was founded

in the 16th century or so, so Protestantism and Catholicism have lots of footpaths

and bridges leading each to each other- and Christ's vision and heart is unity in the Lord.

The Community is one such bridge because every charistmatic protestant would

feel welcome and at home there and even know all the songs.

There were legitimate unbelievable miracles happening that night.

People who walked in on crutches walked out unaided. An eight year old girl who had an

eye blind since birth could see by the end of the service. Another woman

nearly bent over and crippled from Fibromyalgia who said she couldn't stand

or sit for lengths of time on hard surfaces and joined Our Lady of Lourdes

because it had carpet (!!) was dancing up and down the aisle by the end of the

service nearly hugging the statue at the back. A woman with terminal cancer

who walked bent over with a crutch stood upright for the first time in two years,

and there were other unbelievable events witnessed by everyone.

The leader started the service by making everyone say "Jesus is Alive"

and then said- now say it like you mean it. People said it like their lives

depended on it, because they do (the eternal soul lives on by his gift

for those who believe on his name.)

The God of the Universe who created all life, walked the earth and his mere

presence at his word healed people whole, cast out demons, and restored

people to full sanity and health. He is Alive. He walks the earth and does it

today. For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. And for those whose

eyes can not see and ears can not hear, if they have faith their faith in Him

can make them well.

Jesus of Nazareth- the name on earth that demons shutter to. The Righteous

Jew from a small town in northern Israel. Jesus of Nazareth. Every knee

one day will bow.
