Under the faithful adherence to the sound theology of the Church, and
under the obedient and prudent supervision of the local bishops of
Worcester, past and present, and under the overseeing general
authorization of the Holy See's officials, Father Ralph Anthony DiOrio,
Jr. is permitted to function in these services of evangelization and
healing--as long as he preaches and teaches the mercy and the love of
Jesus Christ.
The teaching and preaching brings about the expression of faith and the occasion of healing.
God chooses many ways to convey His love, namely the
teaching and preaching of the Gospel. It has been discerned by appropriate authority that Father
DiOrio, during the past 26 years of the formal healing ministry throughout the world,
fulfills his responsible accountability to Almighty God and to the People
of God.
In the
spirit of this anointed priest, we of the Apostolate of Divine Mercy and
Healing, extend the soul and spirit of Father Ralph--as he is publicly and
affectionately called--the blessings which have been participated and
extended throughout the world: "May
the blessings of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
descend upon you; and may the protection of the Holy Mother of God, Mary
most blessed, be upon you and protect you on your earthly voyage from here
into eternity. Amen."
