"Greater
love than this no man hath,
that a man
lay down his life for his friends" (St. John 15:13)
We supports our military men
and women and their families in a very special and profound way.
We know the sacrifice they have made. Their specific sufferings
are real, Traumatic Stress Syndrome is real, so we offer some spiritual
healing advice, which can heal wounds in their lives. They have endured
great loss either physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, family or all
of these. Suffering and sorrows is a daily way of life for our
brave hero's all for the sake of defending our nation, defending our
freedom. Because many of our volunteers are veterans or are
currently have family members currently serving, we understand the
special needs for spiritual
healing.
Our Lord always had an Army,
recall King Saul and King David. In a civil society, we must have
a military force that will defend the rights of its citizens. Good
citizens from across our country have volunteered to defend our blessed
nation and we thank Jesus, for their service. We pray for our
military personnel and family members daily and turn to the Patron Saint
of the military,
St. Michael
the Archangel (pictured above). St. Michael is the champion
Archangel that threw the fallen angels out of the Heavenly Kingdom.
St. Michael is the Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, so all military
personnel call upon his assistance while battling not only evil, but
others who are committed to kill and destroy human life in war time.

YOUR SERVICE IS A "CALLING" FROM
GOD |
|
It was no mistake that you volunteered to
serve in the Armed Forces, it is a calling from the Lord.
Recall that King David commanded an Army of men. In the First
and Second Books of Machabees (last two books of the Old Testament),
we read, "But when the first band of Judas [Machabees] came in
sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God,
who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another."
(see 2 Machabees 12:22). Therefore, your military service is a
mission from the Lord, honorable and needed. |

HEALING ALL THOSE MEMORIES |
|
Your eyes are the window to the soul, and
because your eyes have seen and experienced the gravest and most
depraved situations life can offer, you need to seek healing of all
those images you witnessed. The pictures taken by your eyes
must be healed, those images are placed in your imagination so you
need to have each image erased from your imagination.

GIVING EACH IMAGE TO JESUS |
|
We recommend that you visit Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic Adoration and if you are not able
to, simply do this at home:
-
Begin with an Act of Contrition, you may
recall one from your youth or make one up. Tell Jesus you
want to be healed of the bad memories you experienced during the
war. You want to return to your life at home with family
members and friends and need His help to do so. Ask Jesus
to send the Holy Spirit into your memories and heal you.
-
Next, visualize Jesus on the cross, and
taking one hand down from the cross and opening his wounded hand
to you, waiting for you to hand Him a memory from the war.
-
Say these words, or make up your own;
"Dear Jesus, I want to hand this terrible memory to You. I
do not want to remember it any more. Please Jesus take it
from my memory today."
-
Hand Jesus the memory, place it in Jesus'
precious wounded hand.
-
Now tell Jesus that you forgive X [whoever
hurt you], and today you want to give up all anger towards X.
Then ask Jesus to please heal you from the anger forever!
-
Lastly, ask the Holy Spirit to enter into
the space that was vacated by the evil spirit named "anger".
Simply say, "Dear Holy Spirit, please place an in-healing in the
place that was vacated by anger".
-
Now repeat steps 2 through 6 for all other
memories that are troubling you. It may take you minutes
or months, but don't stop. You will gradually begin to
experience inner peace.
