My Healing Ministry comes to me by prayer and using my mind to invite, and invoke the Angelic healing energies of Christ through Our Lady of Knock.
As a schoolboy, I knew I could cure things, being able to revive small song birds that had been injured. I became very ill with tuberculosis around the age of eight years, and after months of laying in bed I received the rites of Extreme Unicion.
I had a vision of traveling through a long dark tunnel of hell and heaven, at the end came a beautiful garden, then something told me at that moment to go back.
Fully recovered, and a year later in May 1946, after making my Confirmation. It was on a lovely Summers evening, while I was reading a prayer book and walking near the old army huts, not far from Arboe Cross, it was here that I had seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary, it was then that I resolved to serve God by becoming a Priest.
During the Northern Ireland troubles, attempts were made on my life, ended up in various hospitals, again I was cured by our Lady while walking across the square at the Knock Shrine Basilica. I felt here that I got lifted off my feet and was floating on air. In thanks giving I became a Knock Shrine Steward in 1981, and I am still giving a helping hand, once or twice a month.
While attending a Reiki Masters course, the question came up over the long tunnel, it was only then that I discovered it had been a near death experience, I myself had in 1945.
I am also a member (No 21545) National Federation of Spiritual Healers, and a Reiki Master. Working always to a code of conduct.
