Father Faller, The Healing Priest

I posted my last blog entry "The Healing Priest" on fanstory.com, an online membership site where members can post their literary works for review and comments by other members. It got good reviews, save one review where it said that I did not expound on the healing I experienced under Father Faller. I intentionally left it hanging because I intended to write a sequel to it. So, here it is.

My husband has stage III Cancer of the tongue and we have sought healing through alternative medicine and through faith healing. One friend of my husband was telling us of a Father Faller, a priest faith healer, from Lucban Quezon, which is a five-hour drive from our place, including the traffic. When we mentioned it to another friend, she said that he visits Christ the King church to officiate healing prayers. We were able to attend one healing prayer of him at Christ the King Church that started at 8:00 PM and ended at 10:300.

One of the healing I sought was spiritual healing. I consider myself a devout Catholic but sometimes, I am just defeated by unholy thoughts that I sometimes cannot seem to control even during praying and religious rites. After the mass, the Holy Eucharist was exposed and was held by Father Faller and brought before the presence of those who attented the mass, with them kneeling down. The Holy Eucharist is the big consecrated Host which has been transformed to the body of Christ during the mass and is held in a golden receptacle called monstrance.
And when the priest was about to turn to our side, I could still not control those unholy thoughts. God must have been reading my mind because Father Faller did not continue bringing the Holy Eucharist to my presence and he turned to the other side instead. Finally, when the other sides were finished adoring the Holy Eucharist and with my mind more subdued, it was brought before me. Afterwards Father Faller prayed for healing for all those who lined up to be blessed by him. I prayed for Spiritual Healing.

The next time we sought healing from him was at Buklod Healing Center, a place near Christ the King also. (Buklod means union). After the mass, the Holy Eucharist was exposed and brought again before the presence of those who attended the healing mass. I had the opportunity of beholding its presence twice, this time, with clear Godly thoughts. Then, all people were asked to go in front, row by row, and I witnessed all those touched by him being "slain". Slain is the Catholic term for those touched by the Holy Spirit after being prayed over, who falls down straight backwards to the floor without being hurt. When my turn came, I was asked to hold my hands, one on top of the other, in front and he placed his hand lightly over mine and I had this uncontrollable feeling overpowering me that caused me to fall down slowly backwards without being hurt. I prayed mostly for spiritual healing and those unholy thoughts stopped coming since then. I also prayed for the healing of my husband, who lined up for healing too and who was also slain. He has not experienced any major healing yet, but through God's grace, and according to His will, we will never tire to seek healing from Jesus Christ, through Father Faller.

The Healing Priest

His name is Father Faller (pronounced as Father Palyer). He heads a healing ministry called KAMAY NI JESUS, (or Hand of Jesus). The location is in Lucban, Quezon. You can research through the internet about the place. It is known for the image "The Risen Christ", which can be seen from miles away. It stucked in my mind because as I have seen in the internet, it is the same as the image I have at home, with Jesus fully clothed in white, with red cape, and with outstretched hands reaching for Heaven. I didn't know before how to call the image whether it was "Resurrection" or "Ascension". Now I know that it is called "The Risen Christ". And the name KAMAY NI JESUS, why did it stick in my mind? Because the same image I have at home lost the left hand years ago, since it is detachable. The image is made of fiberglass, which is also used for insulation (explains my husband's claim that it does not burn). I called up shops before how much it would cost me to have it restored. It came out to be almost the same amount as I bought it. So, the image was displayed at our home with the left hand missing because that time it was already unaffordable for me.

When my husband got sick with cancer, I thought maybe it is God's way of reminding us of things, some of which we took for granted. Then I thought of the missing hand of Jesus. Something came up that lead me to a wood carver, who specializes in Holy images. I was given a quotation after seeing the image, of an amount less than half the purchase price of the image years back. He said he will carve the hand on wood and paint the whole image. The job was done beautifully and perfectly. A perfect offering for a perfect God.

I have not gone to KAMAY NI JESUS, but I have experienced the healing power of Jesus through Father Faller twice. The first was at Christ The King Church at E. Rodriguez, Quezon City and the second was at Buklod ng Pag-ibig Healing Center somewhere in E. Rodriguez too. These are two healing ministries in Quezon City that he visits on schedule. He is based in Lucban.

2,000 Hail Mary

On my birthday on March 14, I hosted 2,000 Hail Mary's at home. There were around seventeen of us taking turns in praying the rosary with 20 mysteries including the light mysteries and 2,000 Hail Mary's the whole day. Each took turns in leading the prayer of 100 Hail Mary's with one "glory be" at the end of the prayer beads. Before praying the Hail Mary's, the leader lights one of the 20 candles and read the general petitions to Mama Mary for the whole world before leading the prayer of 100 Hail Mary. The event normally finishes at 5:00-6:00 PM with the start at 8:00 AM. When we have a break for lunch at 12:00, the Angelus is prayed. There is another break at 3:00 PM to pray the Divine Mercy.

The Angelus prayer consists of 3 Hail Mary's and at the end, the phrase "Pour forth we beseech thee O Lord, Your grace into our hearts, that we to whom the incarnation of Christ Your Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross, be brought to the glory of His ressurection through the same Christ our Lord, amen." The prayer of the Divine mercy is a prayer to the Father, offering the sacrifices of Christ on the cross to Him, in attonement for our sins and that of the whole world. These prayers are repeated several times using the beads of the rosary as a guide. These are normally prayed every three o'clock by devout Catholics.

All those who attend the event writes in a piece of paper their personal petitions which are collected in a pot at the foot of the altar. These personal petitions are burned while singing the "Our Father" by the group, forming a circle holding hands around the burning pot at the end of the day. The image of Mama Mary stays with the host for one month who prays the rosary with the family before it nightly. The image visits one house for one month. The image is rotated to different houses for the whole year. I normally host the whole day prayer every March since it is the month of my birthday, and provide a home for the image for the whole month of March. I find that petitions to Mama Mary through the 2,000 Hail Mary are usually granted by the Lady. I prayed mostly for the healing for my husband Art.
