We are returning to Texas due to the response in Houston and because it has emerged as perhaps the pre-eminent state when it comes to growth in the Catholic Church -- a hope for the nation. This time the retreat will be in San Antonio.

Catholic Author Michael H. Brown will present an all-day session on the afterlife, spiritual deliverance, and prophecy Saturday, January 30, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Marriott Plaza at 555 South Alamo Street [see below for directions]. We will also have a Vigil Mass (Fr. James Farfaglia) and blessings of salt and water. There will be special deliverance prayers. There also will be a specific discussion of potential epidemics as well as the "new world order" due to recent events.

There will be the discussion of the afterlife (Heaven, purgatory, and hell), spiritual warfare (especially protection as evil rises), and inner healing (including family cleansing), but this time around there will more of a focus on the theories of a coming globalization and new world order due to the quickening events around us -- an attempt to separate far-fetched ideas from the reality of a changing planet.

What's in the wind? What is in the wind for the Southwest? What are our priorities in life? What can we look for here -- and hereafter?

For whom do the bells toll?

The day will start with a discussion of the afterlife -- followed by spiritual warfare, protection in our times, and alleged visions and apparitions. Talks, discussions, and a question-and-answer period will extensively address what is occurring in the world; the hidden aspects of current times; and how we grow close to God and tap into His power (and the miraculous) -- how we should perceive and deal with the turbulent times we live in. And how we can be healed by the special graces at this moment in time! There will be door admission.

The discussion of heightened demonic attacks on families will address how to ward such off, the role of Confession and the Eucharist, and extensive review of Heaven, hell, and purgatory. So too will we discuss alleged apparitions and prophecy along with "secrets." We will recite family-healing prayers and discuss this fascinating topic. Groups of ten or more from out of town receive discount rate. Priests and nuns are free.
