HELPFUL HINTS
TO UNDERSTAND, TO RECEIVE,
TO APPRECIATE
THE HEALING LOVE AND MERCY OF JESUS
 
February 2002

My Dear Friends in Christ,

What a tremendous privilege for me, your priest, anointed in the powers of the Holy Spirit, to address you through this wonderful new media of the Internet. May God Bless you in this powerful channel of communication!

Both myself and the staff of the Apostolate of Divine Mercy express profound gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Seaman of Auburn, Massachusetts and family for their generous sponsorship of this website: rdohealingministry.org. 

May the Heavenly Father bless you abundantly! God love you with peace, health and prosperity+

POINT 1:

GOD'S LOVE AWAITS YOU!
Both myself, and my Ministry of the Apostolate of Divine Mercy and Healing, thank you for allowing us access to your heart, to your home, and to all your needs. We also welcome you to receive God's Blessings through this wonderful Positive and Holy Use of website Internet medium. God certainly and most lovingly will clasp in His arms both you and all your hearts desires. He enrichingly has done so with our Ministry of Healing and Evangelization. The good Lord has utilized our Apostolate for twenty-six years. He has sent me to virtually every sector of this country. In His concern for all peoples, He invited me to touch millions of souls from all ethnic and religious backgrounds. He granted me the chance to go to many of the continents of this world. These services extended themselves to the majority of European Countries. We ministered in Asia, North and Central America, the Caribbean Islands, the Far East and in the Pacific. What a privilege that was to serve the Lord, dwelling in all His people.

POINT 2:

GOD DWELLS IN ALL PEOPLES:
I personally am convinced, as I have for twenty-six years preached on every platform from Madison Square Garden to the largest domes and arenas in these beautiful lands of North and South America, and elsewhere, from every church pulpit of the cross wherein I was cordially invited, that the essential message of invitation to all peoples is that Jesus dwells in his people. This dwelling of the Holy Trinity welcomes you and me to come to his throne of grace without fear.

COME WITH EXPECTANT FAITH:
Is this not encouraging? Can you imagine that God Himself is welcoming you each moment of your life? That is exactly the truth of His Divine Love. Love in its true value never fails us. We, however, may fail love!

DO YOU COME WITH EXPECTED FAITH?
Sure you can! Way down deep in your spirit you know there is a God way up there -- "SOMEBODY Up There Likes You!" That exactly is the message of the crucified love of Jesus for you and for me.

WHO ARE THOSE WHO COME?
These are men and women from all walks of life. They are looking for a valid new chance. They really want a fresh new rainbow of hope. What a tremendous grace of responsibility God entrusted me and the ministry of the Apostolate of Divine Mercy and Healing! He is also doing this with many other authentic and sacrificial ministries. Do pray for us that we do not spoil God's work. Power brings with it responsibility. That responsibility for me was and remains that I feed God's people with truth and not with religious secularized entertainment. God's message is that on Calvary's Hill there were and there are only "sinners of the moment who if they would only touch the Christ on the central Holy Cross can become saints of the next.”

NO PARTIALITIES WITH GOD:
There are no nationalities, no denominations better than another, before God. In my forty-five years of consecrated priesthood, I am convinced that there really are no bad people in the world (unless they have sold themselves deliberately to the evil one). In this confused man-made world there exists only good people to whom bad things happen. The answer to their hurts and their wounds rests, of course, as consequences good or bad depending upon the manner in which one reacts, or responds. There is a tremendous difference between reaction to life and acting to life. That is where many of God's holy and sacrificial ministries help and can assist God's people who are experiencing the "slings and arrows" of a broken humanity. Oh, my dear people, God's love awaits you! Won't you give Him a chance?

POINT 3:

DO YOU HAVE WOUNDS?
Are you suffering? Are you injured in body, soul, and spirit? Are you experiencing the visitations of past memories? Yes, much of our past experiences come back to haunt us. Our sins definitely -- at least in memories -- will always return to visit us. And although memories must remain, it is the Christian memory, which will help us to be healed. Our wounds call for healing! That answer is and lies in God's Holistic Healing Hands. Life has made promises to all of us, which it has not kept. We all have experienced this. We all fall into this category of brokenness. Both you and I -- every human being from the top down -- are in constant daily human battles. We all need the presence of the Lord. This is the only authentic answer for survival! It is the only Rainbow of Hope! It is the only secure passage into and for a Bright New Tomorrow. Nothing else can fill your "vacuum of emptiness!” Nobody else but our dear Blessed Lord can fill up your heart.

HIS HEALING TOUCH AWAITS YOUR BROKEN AND WOUNDED LIFE:
The Healing Hands of Jesus will usher you not to a religion, "per se,” but to a person! That person is our Blessed Lord Jesus. How powerful this truth is! When you give your heart to Jesus, nothing nor anybody in all this whole "cockeyed" world can ever again hurt you. At that marvelous instant of your soul meeting the Lord, you are receiving Jesus' personal agency, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit activates a Holy Rendezvous. This Rendezvous, this encounter of a human soul with God is nothing more than an adventure into a new birth - a new chance in life. It is truly a Divine Romance.

A NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY AWAITS YOU:
Doesn't everybody like a new chapter in the autobiography of their life? Of course! We all do! It is a new birth opportunity. It is the restoration about which Jesus spoke to the searching perplexed Nicodemus. This new birth is nothing else but an actual living presence of yourself with the Holy Trinity. This is The Salvation Message. This -- and only this -- can be and should be the purpose and focal point of the Charismatic Gifts of the Holy Spirit working within the soul of the wounded. Such is the story of a human soul "coming home to where it belongs.”

In your clarity of thinking, remember two points, if you would. The first is that Jesus remains visible to us through charisms. These charisms are important. This is sound theology. They make our Blessed Lord visible. They personify the different visible phases of His earthly personality and ministry. Secondly, for us who belong and believe in Sacramental Churches, Jesus is definitely present through the Sacraments. Saint Thomas Aquinas states, "Invisibilia Per Visibilia," i.e. "The Invisible Through The Visible." So! I ask you again. Are you wounded? There is a divine way out of your living hell? That way is Jesus! His salvation love story waits to embrace you.

POINT 4:

HOPE WE'LL MEET SOMEDAY!
For this purpose I personally and hopefully look forward to meeting you. What a privilege for me to embrace you in the arms of Jesus! What a joy it will be for me to lay my priestly consecrated hands upon you in the Holy Blessings of The Healing Hands of Dear Jesus! Jesus will be anointing you in the use of the Holy Spirit's fresh anointing. He uses His selected simple people who are willing to be used as His instruments. We become His visible agents to bless you, to bless all His people! Indeed, yes! To bless you! Yes! We are willing to be the powerful healing tools in the Holy Spirit. Let us bring to your own human spirit, your soul, and your body this wonderful and marvelous new voyage of discovery in your journey to eternity. Believe me, God's Love does go out to you, you whom others have wounded, you whom you yourself have wounded, and you whom many other external forces have wounded. In that precious spectacular moment of healing, you are experiencing the Holy Anointing of Divine Restoration. This and more is the presence in the power the Holy Spirit.

What I am saying here to you is nothing else but the impressive thoughts of that inspiring Protestant Minister, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was in the Nazi concentration camp during the second World War. As Hitler manipulated the German churches and oppressed the Jews, most Christians remained silent. NOT Dietrich Bonhoeffer! His is a life and death of a modern martyr. Born into privilege, Dietrich was headed toward a brilliant career as a theologian. Then he came to see life "from the perspective of those who suffer,” In Nazi Germany, that cost him his life. Wearied, broken, tormented, tortured, completely exhausted by the Nazi's, but strengthened in the faith of his Christianity, he proclaimed the strengthening powerful words "when the Christ in me is tired and broken, let me turn to my brother and sister in whom the Christ is strong."

POINT 5:

ARE YOU ALSO TIRED, WEARY, BROKEN? COME AND REST AWHILE.
Again, I ask you. Are you tired? Are you weary? Are you broken, sick, at a point of almost despair? Then you are eligible to make a pilgrimage journey of love to the Anointed Hands of our Blessed Lord and Healing Jesus. We, who are blessed and anointed by Him in His name, want to answer, want to fulfill our "Ad Sum " (here I am, Lord, to do your will).

We need to fulfill our God-given assignment to you. Woe, if we walk away from it! In using us, we at the Apostolate carry out His assigned plans. We do so when we diligently, prudently, and responsibly minister the Lord’s great commission. We in the fellowship ministry have been validly discerned by ecclesiastical authority. So approved, we therefore await your presence!
As you allow us to minister to you, it is really our Blessed Lord who longs for your heart. Let Him touch your heart. God's Precious Blood waits to wash you in the saving cleansing of the Lamb of God. May that Precious Shed Blood not fall wastefully upon the ground as it did at Calvary, upon ground, which seemed to be more thirsty for the sacred Blood of its Creator than that of broken human race, which needs it most desperately. But, I am sure; this does not pertain to you! I just feel in my heart and in my soul, that you are going to have a wonderful, a new remarkable chapter in your autobiography. I just know you are going to try to come. He says to you: "Come, I am Still with You!" May GOD LOVE YOU! May His love reach and touch each and every one of you! This is my priestly anointed blessing! Yes! GOD LOVE YOU and Heal you!

MY PRAYER FOR YOU:
It is my prayer to remember you in each day's holy celebration of Mass. This is the distinctive privilege, which each consecrated priest has, to pray each day the Holy Sacrifice of the Eucharist. There I remember you where remembrances are most precious. Each morning, as I'm privileged, I with trembling hands and sensitive heart, touch our Blessed Lord at the Holy Consecration. There, each day since June 1, 1957, I have touched and have kissed with my human lips His Blessed Body and Precious Shed Blood. I have done so each day as I consume and drink that heavenly manna from my own personally designed and distinctive silver and golden chalice. It is the Chalice of the Madonna of Lourdes. And it is right there until the day God calls me to His Presence, that you and all your loved ones, all your wounds, all your sicknesses, all of your needs will be mingled with His adorable presence. Won't you, therefore, bring your human wounds to His holy wounds? Receive His Divine Blood transfusion. What an opportunity God is offering you!

A PILGRIMAGE JOURNEY - JUST FOR YOU!
Would you, therefore, like to begin that journey of healing and restoration? Let me therefore lead you through this powerful impressive medium of the Internet to begin your journey into a new, fresh and vital Baptism in The Holy Spirit. When you and I believe in Jesus Christ and invite him into our hearts as Lord and Savior we truly experience a rebirth, a restoration, a new chance. As the well known author of the "Song of Bernadette" echoed throughout this age " ...for those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible." And as good Saint Luke summarizes it so very well, we read "...for with God nothing is impossible." (Luke 1:37)

Shall we pray together?
Wherever you may be, this is your moment to begin your journey into a Rendezvous of Love. It is a Divine Romance into a Journey of Soul in Union with God! The Wounded Healer, our Crucified Savior, touches and heals the wounded seeker.

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a Sinner and need your forgiveness.
I believe that you died for my sins.
I want to turn from my sins.
I now invite you to come into my heart and life.
I want to trust you as savior and follow you as Lord,
in the Fellowship of your Church.

AMEN


THOUGHT TO REMEMBER in moments of THE STORM:

I said to a man who stood at the gate, 

"GIVE ME A LIGHT THAT I MAY TROD SAFELY INTO THE UNKNOWN.” 

And he replied:

“GO OUT INTO THE DARKNESS
AND PUT YOUR HAND INTO
THE HAND OF GOD.
THAT SHALL BE TO YOU
BETTER THAN A LIGHT,
AND SAFER THAN A KNOWN WAY.”


GOD LOVE YOU +
