Apostles of Healing

Healing the sick is an essential dimension of Christ’s mission. This can be seen clearly throughout Luke’s Gospel (Lu 9:1-2). Healing is one of the signs of Jesus’s life. “And He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure disease and He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal” (Lu 9:1-2). Healing is one of the signs of Jesus’s life. Both physical and mental healings are meant by Christ.

 

        Medical services is an organised and massive form. At the beginning of the church, the charism of healing was bestowed on some chosen Christians to spread the faith and strengthen it among new believers. The consecrated who work in the field of healing ministry are specially called for nurturing the culture of life in this world.
