Healing Author:Rev. Richard McAlear, OMI Healing is an important topic to consider, pray about and ponder. In the last few decades there has been a renewal of interest in the theory and practice of healing prayer. — In one way, this can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the living presence of Jesus Christ in the Church, who is at work in the lives of believers through t... more »he power of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. Healing teaches us that Jesus is not just a historical figure from the past or just a great teacher of prophet whose doctrines we study and whose moral code we try to follow. He is the risen and living Lord of all at work in the Church in a dynamic way even now.
Father McAlear presents here a series of essays and teachings, all rooted in the Gospel and centered on power of the Holy Spirit at work in the Church in the name of Jesus Christ. This is a well thought out presentation of the theory and theology of healing as presented in the Scriptures and in Church practice and tradition. Readers at any level can learn something here about healing, about Jesus and about God's love made manifest in the work of Christ and His Church.« less
