“Everything flows from healing,” says the Rev. Michael Gemignani in the March 1 issue of The Living Church magazine. Explaining the message of his new book, Making Your Church a House of Healing, he continues, “Healing is change. Healing is transformation. Healing is becoming whole in Christ. Healing is conforming to God — body, mind and soul — and becoming love — to ourselves and to the world. God sent his Son for healing. He sent the Holy Spirit as sanctifier. He gave us the Church as a house of healing.”
Fr. Gemignani notes that “repentance during Lent is a reorientation — away from false gods, to the one, true God. Do we really want God? Do we recognize his infinite worth?
If God is really the only thing worth having, are we accepting that call? If not, why not? What’s standing in the way? What will make us the disciples we were meant to be?”
