We have a family friend with numerous medical conditions. Lived through jaw cancer, has 3 sons in high school, husband left her because of her disfigurement. Her cancer is back in full swing. She was raised Catholic, but isn't particularly practicing right now. She lives in Maryland. She emailed us asking about healing ministries. We'd like to steer her to a good Catholic priest, in Maryland or not, so she can receive some solid, Catholic spiritual direction. The doctors have told her this time it's terminal.

Any good healing ministries out there... or good, solid priests in Maryland we can steer her towards? (We live across the country from her, in AZ) She says she'll go anywhere. e've suggested Lourdes, but I think it would be good to talk to a priest, as well.

Thanks for the help
Peace,
Macmom

Fr. Andrew Carr -- He is at St. Michael's in Baltimore City. He is solid; but FYI, he is a Charismatic, if that should be an issue. He has a heart of gold.

Edited to Add... She may also want to try the Lourdes Grotto in Emmitsburg. I beleive the chaplain there (a personal friend of mine) offers prayers of healing with relics after Masses, particularly Sunday Masses (after Mass, you file up, get blessing sort of deal if I remember correctly). He is solid and not involved in the Charismatic movement.

I am a FUS grad, so I see some real positive benefits in the charismatic renewal. Hopefully, this family friend will, too! Thanks!

Peace,
Macmom
