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.
