Priest Healers become Saints and the rest are shunned upon
Over the centuries we have burn't our white witches (black as well) and praised our saints. Pray for healing in our own way and we are stepping over the fine church line and should careful. Careful of what? Praying to the wrong person? Many have conformed to the church and it is accepted all over the world that we can pray to Jesus etc. It was only 5 years ago that any sort of spiritual intervention in Victoria Australia, that may appear to be witchcraft, was considered illegal and you could be charged. A few witches came out of the woodwork after that law was overturned. I have heard some amazing healing stories outside the church that no doctor could fix. Maybe, become a priest or a nun and do what you do best all you healers out there, and then you will be accepted. I know I won't.
Like Brother André Bessette, 1845 who became a Saint for Canada.
An extract from an article about the time he became a priest
"Many pilgrims came, and there was need for a priest to say Mass for them. The only one available was Fr. Clement, who was blind. Brother André prayed for his healing, and Fr. Clement's sight was restored.
Amazing healings continued to take place, and Brother André always told people not to attribute the healing to him, but to continue to see their doctors when needed, to receive the sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion, and to thank God and St Joseph.
The pilgrims kept pouring in and Brother Andre hardly had any time for himself. He even had an extra cot in his small room for traveling pilgrims.
A couple of his loyal friends tried to keep order among all these pilgrims, but sometimes people would be upset because they had not been given enough time with Brother André.
One of these was a woman who was unable to walk. When she was asked to leave, she was so upset that she stormed out of his office. It was only afterwards that she realized that she had actually walked out with no help!"
He claims his work was the work of God and St Joseph. Maybe he had that healing channel that so many of us have. |
