In prophesy, Kathleen speaks what she hears Jesus say: “Be aware of my presence in your life, not only in the times of great joy and happiness, not only in the times that you see Me, in the times that you’re celebrating, in the times that you’ve received blessings, but I want you to see Me, in you, all times, the good times and the not so good times”. Kathleen McCarthy is a published author, Catholic radio broadcaster and has been a Catholic lay evangelist for almost 40 years. Her message of the Father’s merciful love, the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, and the power of the Holy Spirit are central to the doctrines of the Catholic Church. Kathleen has traveled across the country and internationally as a sought after conference speaker. She facilitates workshops, days of renewal and parish retreats. For over four decades, Kathleen has been involved in healing ministry. She has the gift of storytelling that readily touches the hearts of all individuals. Her willingness to share her faith and wisdom has established her as a dynamic instrument for proclaiming God’s word to both believers and Catholics of all ages. Kathleen has experienced the death of a husband, loss of a house through fire, personal and family illness and loss. Through it all, her uncompromising love of God and faith in His love for her has been her source of strength in weakness and her light in darkness. She is a gifted speaker who shares with enthusiasm and motivates many hearts to experience the living God.

Does God Heal Today?
FATHER ARIEL PROCLAIMED “GOD IS IN THE PROCESS OF HEALING…”
|
A first person witness!
While viewing my MRI the surgeon said “Your spine has fused”. He went on to explain a fusion usually happens gradually over an extended period of time. However, God had a different option for me. I told him my experience and he believed that I even knew exactly when this fusion took place.
After lower back surgery to relieve a pinched nerve in December 2012, I was later found to have contracted two deadly, slow-growing staph infections in the area which, when finally cured by long-term antibiotic treatment, left a separation in the spine which caused chronic weakness and pain. If the bone didn’t fuse on its own, further surgery would be necessary including insertion of a rod. Time was short for this to happen and the separation still no better when in October 2013 I attended the Camden Diocesan Catholic Charismatic Convention in Wildwood, New Jersey.
I shall never forget the word Fr Ariel Hernandez gave during a healing session. He said “God is in the process of healing backs, specifically lower backs”. He had my attention! Father Ariel continued “You will know you are healed when you feel heat in that area”. At that moment the solidly frozen ice pack I had on my lower back turned into a hot water bottle. I knew God had healed me!
When the doctor heard my story, his response was “someone up there likes you”. His next sentence is what every patient wants to hear. He pointed his finger at me and said, “You don’t need me anymore”. Praise God!
