""He sent his word and healed me" Psalms 107-20"

In the year of 1995 I was in great need of a healing. Doctors were not giving me any hopes of survival. I was told I had three months of less to live. I have been asked many times to write a book on my supernatural healing. I believe this is the appointed time. As I lay in the hospital paralyzed from salmonella blood poisoning with amyloidosis in my liver and multiple myeloma cancer in my bone marrow, Jesus sent me a message by the "Holy Spirit" in a very unique way.

Schnackenburg writes that friendship must prove itself genuine during times of persecution and suffering. Friendship with Jesus gives Christians the strength of the Holy Spirit to overcome the difficulties that can make their way into daily life. By reviewing our relationship with Jesus...

Recovering the Riches of Anointing is a collection of the papers presented at an international symposium sponsored by the National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC) as part of a long-term exploration of topics of theological and pastoral concern in pastoral care of the sick. This book looks at the anointing of the sick from the vantage point of theology, history, and canon law.

Since Vatican II the training and commissioning of lay Eucharistic ministers has enabled the sick and dying to receive the nourishment of Christ's body and blood regularly in their confinement at...
