Christian healing rooms

[Lucky_Scrunchy]

After reading an article on Spirit Daily about Frances Macnutt, I was very excited to get his book on the Practice of Healing Prayer. Mr. Macnutt also has a healing ministry and teaches people how to pray for healing. I contacted them and told them I would love it if they could pray over me and my dad, but we’re over here in California, they are in Florida. A lady from this ministry suggested a “healing room” in California called Camarillo Healing Rooms. It looks like its sponsored by a protestant church. Are we, as Catholics, allowed to participate in something like this?

Healing can be for many types – emotional, psychological, spiritual and even physical. The basis for healing is that Jesus is the same; he never changes. If he could do that before he can do it now. In theory any mature Christian can pray for your healing but the word of St. James tells us that prayer of the righteous avails much. If we ask for healing or others pray for our healing, we know that God answer our prayers. How he responds, of course it is up to him. I suggest you can approach your priest for this and get his (name removed by moderator)ut.
