I just started this new web page and it will be comprehensive so come back soon.
I have been on the most important journey of my life for the last 8 months. It is anexistential inquiry, an examination into the depth of my faith. It has been essentially good but at the same time very destabilizing, intellectually and interpersonally. I did not know I was doing it until I was well into it.Ultimately, a great good has come from it, though there is substantial clean-up activity in the works. It has taken me a long time to put this all together in my mind, then longer still to find some way to express it so that it could be understood by those around me. For the most part, my friends have been wonderful with me as I sorted this out. There was no crisis that initiated it. It was an awakening by surprise, unexpected and misunderstood by me.
Attached at this link is a letter that I wrote to 2 people as they assisted me in my inquiry into Faith Healing as understood and advanced by the Catholic Church. It was in response to an examination into good people causing sick people to heal. I did this to familiarize myself with the subject for the purpose of giving a presentation to an audience of catholic men. That itself was God’s hand.
The upshot is that I accept and have internalized the weekly prayer that I have said thousands of times”
“Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the Word and my soul shall be healed.” (Thanks Evan for your help on this)
A good woman KB thought that I needed a minor medical problem healed 2 1/2 years ago. What I needed was “my soul shall be healed”. Silly KB. She didn’t know what she was doing to me. Five persons participated in the Healing event, as well as me. I wilfully and genuinely participated. While the event was progressing I sincerely attempted, through silent prayer, to speak to the Holy Spirit and I asked Him to enter into me. He did. He manifested in me anew over the next 2 years, gently, lovingly.
If you are interested in further details of the progress of this wonderful gesture, I have it now on this separate web page. I have, out of respect to the people involved, aside from Father Mark Cherry, redacted their names from the pages. I thank them profusely, and love them all immeasurably:
I love you all in ways I would never have thought possible by the simple creature of flesh that I am.
