FAITH IN HEALING OF PD BY MICHAEL J. FOX AND THROUGH BLESSED JOHN PAUL II


Through the words of the Holy Bible, the Greatest Book ever written in the world, you will find the answer to your greatest need, the miracle of healing in the SIXTH WAY to beat Parkinson's disease through faith.


FAITH

"Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen."

HEBREWS 11:1



"Spring is in the air"
From an original painted with the mouth by J. La Dow




Michael J. Fox has faith that healing of his Parkinson's disease is possible through the combined efforts and dedication of those who stay relentlessly focused on finding the cure. He may have changed his mind and stand on the benefit of stem cell therapy but he still maintains his belief that in time all will be well.

Webster defines faith as a belief and trust in and loyalty to God or a firm belief and complete trust in something for which there is no proof.  Another definition of faith is the agreement of the mind to the statement or proposition of another, based on the manifest truth of what he says. 

The word "faith" has been derived from the Middle English "feith" or from Anglo-French "feid" or "fei". It was also coined from the Latin word "fides" which is akin to Latin "fidere" or "to trust".

FAITH is not just a religion but is a way of life. It is how we perceive events in our lives and how we act on them. It is acting like a child but not being childish. Like a little boy who remained calm during a plane ride despite the turbulence because he had faith in the man in the cockpit. He trusted the pilot to make a safe landing because the pilot is his father. Thus, faith is having a strong conviction and belief that everything happens for a reason and that God, our Father, will provide all the answers in His own time. 

It is difficult to imagine that your Parkinson's disease is healing whenever you falter in your steps and every movement that you make is slow and a drag.  It is also disheartening when you see your hands tremble and your face remains blank despite wanting to smile back.  When your posture starts to stoop and it seems that your face is ready to touch the ground, what is left is the strong belief that in time, you will overcome and beat your PD through faith in God, taking the right medicine at the right time and with the right dosage, moving your body through regular exercise and being nourished with the right kind of food.

You don't have to see to believe! If you have faith like a mustard seed, recite these prayers:

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Greatest Healer. Everything I have comes from You: my life, my health, my family, my friends, my wealth and all that matter.  I surrender them all to You as I find meaning and purpose in all that is happening to me. I claim complete healing of my mind, body, heart and soul. I claim healing for those who are suffering and are lost. I claim healing of our family tree. I claim financial blessings so I can be a blessing to others, too. May I have the patience and the endurance to hear Your answer to my prayer when You say yes, no or wait. All these I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

PRAYER FOR HEALING OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE
THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF BLESSED JOHN PAUL II

When my legs are frozen in place,
May God the Father push me and remind me
To lift my toes up and swing my arms
That I may walk again and not be afraid.

When I feel like falling or as my posture stoops,
May Jesus Christ, God the Son, break my fall
And catch me as I move forward
With my legs braced and feet wide apart.

When my movement is slow and I hesitate,
May God the Holy Spirit enlighten my path,
Broaden my horizon and show me the way
That I will be more agile and graceful in my steps and bearing.

When my hands and feet are shaking, or my chin trembles,
And my voice weakens as I speak,
May Mother Mary embrace me to calm me and assure me
That everything will be okay and I can rest in her arms and wait
Until everything is still and steady and I am in peace
As my voice grows strong and clear.

Forgive me, God the Father, for all my sins
Heal me, God the Son, from my Parkinson’s disease
Bless me, God the Holy Spirit, with wisdom and knowledge
Love me, Mother Mary, so that I can love and serve others despite my PD.
Thank you, Lord, for granting my prayers.

We ask all these, through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II.
Amen.
