I have been attending ARCWP Bishop Bridget Mary's parish Mary Mother of Jesus in Sarasota. Tonight was our final night together as Bridget Mary and her father return to VA until November. Our community has begun a journey to find, understand and live our God of Compassion.
It is our tradition to pray for healing/concerns of all who request prayer after Mass. Usually three or four of us pray, laying our hands on the person requesting prayer. Jack and Tom each pray in tongues as I have never received that gift of the Spirit.
A month or so ago a woman came for prayer. I will call her M. She had been injured in an accident 2 years prior and had not been without pain since. She couldn't leave her home. M attended our liturgy and asked for prayer from our prayer team. Earlier this week Terry received a phone call from her aunt.
After the healing prayer for M, the same night the woman woke in the middle of the night. M knew something had happened in her body but couldn't tell, the pain was lessened. And each day after the pain lessened until M was completely pain free. She gives her healing over to God and our intercessory prayer for her.
M is now again active in her life, driving and delivering meals to shut-ins twice a week.
We give thanks for God's grace and healing for M. We give thanks to the God of Compassion expressed in the world through our words and actions. Amen.
