Now and then, there are healing services organised by the churches. Sometimes it is held in church premises, sometimes in public auditoriums and even in the Indoor Stadium.
Some claimed that their infirmities were healed during these healing sessions. I believe them.
However, I have not come across physical miracles. I mean, I have not encountered someone with one leg, and after attending a healing session, miraculously a second leg appeared for all to see.
I have the opportunities to witness the healing service at Novena Church (Thomson Road) once a month. Normally the service is well attended.
I am always puzzled how, when the priest 'touch' a person, he would fall back and collapse onto the hands of some helpers who lower him to lie and rest on the floor till his energy returns.
Some time ago, my daughter attended this healing service at Novena Church too. She could not explain what happened, but when Father XXX prayed and touched her, she simply collapsed like so many other people there.
I take this as a spiritual manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit. There are certain things that the Holy Spirit would do, or not do. The Holy Spirit may heal some, and yet do not heal some. The Holy Spirit may heal a diseased part of the body, yet will not replace an amputated leg with a new one.
God's mysteries are boundless. We have to accept our limitations in knowing God fully.
Alleluia.
