A terrific priest and healer (currently finishing studies in exorcism), Father Amedeo Guida, of Syracuse, New York, will be joining us on our pilgrimage to Fatima, Lourdes, Avila, Salamanca, and Burgos this October. We always say, "God willing."
A focus will certainly be on the healing -- and deliverance -- aspect of Lourdes, where the Blessed Mother battled with the devil before appearing to Saint Bernadette -- showing us the fight we all have on this earth. Father will conduct healing sessions along with Confession.
This will be a focus of ours: clearing evil
from our lives to make room for health, the current subject of a book
being completed by author Michael H. Brown, who will lead the pilgrimage
with a most capable pilgrimage company,
206 Tours.
We will discuss inner healing as well as physical well-being and have prayers of deliverance as we travel through the beautiful countryside of Spain and France. The miracles of these places will come alive for us.
Fatima is always special, and particularly so in the month of October, month of the Great Miracle. Does a great miracle or sign loom in our own time?
At Avila we will venerate Saint Teresa of
Avila, whose 500th birthday was this year. Her writing, especially on
interior growth and spiritual protection, will be a focus. Loyola is home
to Saint Ignatius. You can read more details
here. Those who wish
can extend the trip to Paris and Lisieux.
The important point: disallowing darkness a foothold in our lives and drawing down God's Grace, as we grow close as possible to the Lord. Our goal always should have Him as close as possible next to us. Deep, deep prayer. This brings true peace, well-being, and freedom! With that comes true joy.
