it’s always amazing to see how God uses the least likely to accomplish great things. I will pray that your pastor’s healing ministry be fruitful.
I did order some of that oil, it is available for free to all....or with a donation. They wrote me how they are running about a week behind but that the send-out date would be June 22nd, so I am a bit anxious for that and looking forward to it. So, hopefully, I will receive it by month's end or early July.
Thanks. He is somewhat hesitant and humble, but he received the grace and calling for healing when he and a couple of fellow priests went to Guadalupe about 10-15 years ago. Our Lady wanted him to receive the gifts. He was delighted to receive the bio of Fr Joe that I printed out. Thank you again. I have personally received much blessing from it myself. I am now going to post an account of what happened with Fr Stack. A little background...he had a best friend priest, Msgr Thomas Wells, who was brutally murdered. The late Msgr’s nephew was dying in a hospital. Let me get the link.
Kevin Wells: “Nine years ago, I had an aneurysm in the middle of the night. I should have died. It’s called an arteriovenous malformation. Many people die instantly. I was rushed to the hospital.” “They jammed shunts in my head to try to embolize the bleeding, but it did not work. They tried going up my groin into my brain to glue the malformation. The blood was drowning my brain. “So finally, the surgeon went in and said, ‘We’ve got to try to get to this thing and embolize and glue it.’ “That didn’t work either. So this was the day for me to die. My wife, Christa, called Tommy’s [Msgr. Thomas’] best friend, Fr. James Stack, and said, ‘Get up here. It’s time for Kevin to go.'” “Fr. Stack came from Hyattsville, Md. to Baltimore, Md. and prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet. He called on the Maryland saints and other saints. “Here’s what he said happened: “He had just started a healing ministry due to a sort of supernatural event in Guadalupe. He came into my dark ICU room to my bedside. (I was incapacitated because of the surgery.) “He says, ‘Hey Kevin, we’ve called on the Baltimore saints and the Maryland saints. Is there any saint that can intercede for you now?’ “And he and his assistant said I opened my eyes and said, ‘Bring Tommy down. I need Tommy now.’ “He then stood up like a V8 moment and said, ‘Of course! What an idiot I am.'” “He went to the foot of my bed and he said, ‘Hey buddy,’ (he’s calling on his best friend now) ‘Your nephew, Keggi, he just asked you to save his life. Save his life.’ “Right after, the dark room filled with popping lights and the whole temperature of the room changed to almost as if you’re sitting in front of a fireplace coming in from the cold. “Fr. Stack said, ‘Kevin, I felt the whole heavenly court surrounding your bed and Tommy was standing next to me. I knew…about the failed brain surgery. But I also knew that I stood in the midst of a miracle, and that you were healed.'” “The next day, they stuck me in an MRI tube and it was all gone.”
http://www.therealpresence.org/archives/Angelology/Angelology_018.htm I came across the most interesting story years ago about the angels on utube. It concerned a specific religious Order in the USA whose one great thing was Devotion of the Angels. It was not founded in the USA but the story came from there. Anyway one of the Fathers who had died had a huge devotion to the angels and could actually see them and the video told a whole lot of stories about the Father and the angels. It reminded me of Padre Pio and the angels. I have this book at home and have read it several times. I must see if I can find that old video..
My favourite book of all time of a mystic who saw and spoke to the angels in this. Pere Lamy spoke the angels pretty well all the time and gives the most beautiful descriptions.
Also Sr Maria Antonia who saw and spoke with her angel guardian from childhood. https://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/2009/11/sr-maria-antonia-under-angel-wings.html
I wish a could find a good book in English on St Frances of Rome. Wife and mother she also saw her angel guardian all the time. An angel who was not the least bit backward in hitting her if he though she needed a good hard slap. All the good books seem to be in Italian though. Sigh.
Wow! This is a very powerful and wonderful event. I hope Kevin is well and now I too know to call upon Msgr Tommy Wells and if Fr. Stack does healing services please let me know. Magnificent. All praise to Jesus - tge Divine Healer.
My favorite quote from St Frances of Rome: "sometimes i must leave Jesus at the altar to take care of Him at home."
I loved this book. I loaned it to my BIL many years ago and never got it back. I always remember that Our Lady showed him the seminaries (before WWI) and he bemoaned how corrupt they were. Even then! I assume in France.
I posted it on the forum awhile back. Msgr Wells was involved in trying to get sodomites out of the Church. He was a wonderful priest. The whole diocese was traumatized when he was murdered in his rectory. Years later, Father Stack told me about it and how traumatized he was. I think it was a precipitating factor for his going to Guadalupe with his priest friends. God writes straight with crooked lines, to quote the late Fr. Whalen.
