Don’t Worry About a Thing!  He Has Got You Covered (With His Blood)

Father DiOrio taught the crowd at his service at St. Anne’s Shrine that we should learn to be “divinely” human.  People do not want to be given rules or be lectured to.  Life is hard.  They want to see God’s love in person.  Perplexed by the idea, many wondered how we, who are so imperfect, can aspire to love perfectly.  Father told us confidently, “(Jesus) says don’t worry about your mistakes.  I permitted them.  I am fighting your humanity.”  And then Father made the heart opening statement, “Jesus will absorb your human weakness and present it to the Father to save you.”

Wouldn’t you like to free yourself from bondage?  What will it take to give up all that is holding you back?  What would happen if you could clean out your heart completely today?  God has a plan for your life.  You are precious to Him.  He loves everything about you because He made you.  Father DiOrio tenderly expressed, “He calls you with the call of the broken heart of Christ.  The miracle is closer than you think.  It is in your heart.”

I had a chance to speak with a lovely couple sitting behind me.  The wife told me that they had once attended Father DiOrio’s Healing Service because she was in renal failure and could not find a kidney donor.  Father told her that God would heal her but not in the way she expected.  Shortly after that service her husband had been discovered to be an exact match!  She is now healthy with her husband’s kidney.  As I hugged them both together I knew that they had one miracle that bonded their two bodies in a most extraordinary way.  When God touches a soul, He leaves His fingerprints that can be felt by anyone looking for Him.

Father summed up the wonderful afternoon by challenging us all to “put our heart where our mind is.  Every saint has a past.  Every sinner has a future.  Now it is your turn!”

I hope to see you at a service.  Please come and see how good God is!  The next service is on Sunday November 7.
