‘Miracle’ Priest is coming here July 23
July 10, 2008
Organizers said this event will be a free-of-charge ticketed event, split into morning and afternoon/evening sessions with projected 750 attendees per session.
The organizers said this is a big undertaking and are calling for volunteers to help as parking marshals and ushers to ensure a smooth, uneventful event.
A training for volunteers will be held along Diocesan guidelines and policies for Healing Services in conjunction with the policies and guidelines of the OLGC
parish.
This “miracle priest” has become famous in the Philippines, Canada and the United States and is drawing large crowds everywhere he goes. His website says: “Today mention the name of Fernando Suarez, and people from all walks of life go on a frenzy, screaming his name while frantically pushing their way towards him just to touch him.
Although he is a Filipino-Canadian immigrant based in Ottawa Canada, the name
Fernando Suarez is unmistakably Filipino, a Batangueno who hails from
Barrio Butong in Taal, Batangas. Today February 7, he turns 41 years and
is at the prime of his youth in the service of God.
enough to make his followers scream like he was a movie-star; but his
real claim to fame are his humility, sincerity and a kind heart. God has
indeed chosen well in the person of Fernando Suarez to be His appointee
to do his healing ministry.
Father Fernando for all his supernatural ability to heal, is ironically
a natural, down-to-earth, warm and cheerful person devoid of any
self-pride. He is so intimately people-friendly and accommodating that
crowds gravitate and relate to him like they have known him as a long
time friend.
One character that is his greatest asset to a fault is his simplicity
and humility. Father Suarez strikes everyone as a good-natured and
humble person that can be instinctively trusted and easy to confide to;
thus everyone always wants to come close to him seeking miraculous favors.
Undeniably, the greatest character of Father Fernando is his humility.
Thus, it isn’t a surprise that the power to heal has been with him for
almost 25 years now and that this gift hasn’t gone into his head.
At age 16, for the simple boy that he is, he found it quite difficult to
accept the gift of healing that was bestowed upon him by God. He
discovered this ability by accident; as he prayed over a paralyzed woman
whom he saw and took pity on her.
As he was praying over her, the woman suddenly started to walk and he
was stunned by this incident. Without any clue of what is to come, he
just kept this incident to himself and didn’t discuss it with anyone.
But the gift of healing wasn’t meant to be kept in secret, it was
destined by God to be shared by Father Fernando for the benefit of those
who needs it the most. They are the poor, the destitute and desperate
who have lost all hope in life, and have no one to turn to for their
physical needs.
Father Fernando clearly acknowledges in all his Homilies in the various
Healing Masses that it is our Lord Jesus Christ who actually heals and
that he is just an instrument to do His Will.
He elaborates the four specific ways by which Jesus heals: “The Lord
heals by His Presence, His Touch, through His Word and by partaking of
the Holy Eucharist. It is by your faith in Jesus that you are healed.
When you come to Him, humbling oneself to ask for forgiveness and
healing, God responds accordingly with great compassion and outpouring
of Love.”
Father Fernando further stresses that for healing to be complete, one
must also receive the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist in a sinless
state, free from sin. For total healing to be absolute, it must be whole
and involve the person’s physical and spiritual being.
Thus, he emphasizes the importance of regularly availing the Sacrament
of Reconciliation (Confession) as a pre-requisite to partaking of the
Holy Eucharist. This explains why his healing rites are always preceded
with a celebration of the Holy Mass. The gift of healing obtained after
the Mass is a supernatural gift that comes from the Divine Healer
Himself, Jesus Christ.
And what a supernatural gift it truly is. Modern day miracles such as
making the crippled and lame walk, the blind regaining their sight,
hopeless terminal cases of incurable diseases disappearing without even
a slight medical trace left. There are even recent reports of the recent
dead rising back to life.
