Healing

Father Mark Baron, MIC reflects on how we can live our lives with a central focus on morality and adhering to the teachings that Christ left us. Then hear the story of Andrew Comiskey and Desert Stream Living Waters Ministry, as they work to help impart healing to the sexually and relationally broken.

Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains that Heaven is not a prize for those who are just good, but for those who are active disciples of Christ. Then hear the story of Hearts for Music, an inspiring group that brings children and adults with profound disabilities together through the universal language of music and compassion.

What is a Healing Mass, and how does it differ from a regular Mass? Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC answers these questions and more in this episode of Ask A Marian.

Have you ever wondered why some people can't seem to stop thinking about their first love, even though decades have passed? Or why certain addictions seem to run in certain families? Or why you just can't heal from that childhood trauma or abuse? Father Chris Alar, MIC, suggests a “soul tie,” or spiritual attachment to another, may be present, and offers solutions. Then hear the story of Andrew Comiskey of Desert Stream Living Waters Ministry, a perfect example of effectively breaking sinful soul ties of the past.

We hear a lot these days about “Generational Healing” and “Healing the Family Tree.” No Magisterial document of the Catholic Church promotes this concept. Does that mean we have to reject it, or can it help us in our family struggles? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear the story of Sheila Terry and the Franciscan Friars of the Gila River Indian Reservation Segment in Arizona, which shows how healing is God's desire for us.
