The human touch can be the most direct healing that we will ever experience. Babies have been know to die if they are not touched by their moms. TOUCHING AND BEING TOUCHED is perhaps the greatest experience of our lives. This touching and being touched is on five levels of our lives and being:
We can touch and be touched:
1) Physically, 2) Emotionally, 3) Psychologically, 4) Spiritually, and 5) Cordially (in the heart: deepest core of our being.)
1) Physically:
We all remember touches that are tender, kind and loving. The caress is perhaps the most tender of touches.
These touches can be between husband and wife, between parents and child, between brother and sister to assure support, between beauty and the beholder.
2) Emotionally:
Have we not had an emotional reaction while watching a very moving fild? For example, when I see something that is truly beautiful and poetic on the screen, I have an emotional reaction. Sometimes, I feel myself kind of making shaking movements as being about to cry. I can feel tears well up in my eyes. These scenes that are very moving are particularly always the same: one of great relief, wonder and too good to be true. I can show you this best by someone you have seen yourself. IN the movie, Jesus of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene is there when Jesus is confronted with 5000 people to feed. She senses this and concerned too; but then she sees the disciples distributing fish and bread in great abundance. She starts to shake and has tears of joy in her eyes. She is smiling and she is crying all at once. Perhaps you have seen this scene in the Movie: Jesus of Nazareth. Well, that is exactly how I feel when in Ben Hur blood is coming down the Hill of Calvary and heals his mother and sister of leprosy. That made me shake and tear up. The point is that we can be TOUCHED even by a movie that truly depicts something that is both true and beautiful and awesome and miraclulous. I fel this also while watching the "Song of Bernadette." Being emotionally touched by God's love for you can cause tearful feelings of great JOY.
We all have been touched by "falling in love" - personally - or when seen in a romantic novel or movie or just seeing a couple in love. Once, I was at a gathering called "Engagement Encounter" - a three day/weekend retreat just for engaged couples preparing for soon to be exchange of marriage vows. I was struck by something very unususal: something I had never seen before in the movies or in real life. It ws this incredible electric charge of love in the air. I was in a room of 17 coulples - all of whom you could see and sense were in love! This love just filled the room with an intense warmth that cannot be really described unless I could in some way give you a subjective experience of this synergism of love experience where I could place all these "burning logs" of heart-to-heart relationships into your fireplace. Since I cannot do this, I can only tell you how I felt. It was no other feeling I had ever had or ever was to have. The "heart of the matter" - the synergism - was this: All these couples were being touched by their beloved's love which was kind of a spiral upwards or crescendo of love that not only affected the individual couples but actually was a perfect and emotionally charge community of love where the love of each couple for each other increased their love by the proximity of the loving couples around them. This phenomenon is really a picture of heaven where every one will be in love with every one else and everyone will be in love with God and God in love with everyone in heaven. There will be an eternal crescendo of love that keeps on increasing forever.
3) Psychologically:
In completing my MA in Psychology, I took a post-graduate course in Psychopathology - which I took as a very serious, in-depth study of pathology (sickness) of the psychic (mind/soul). My getting an A in this course was not because I did all the requirements for the class, but because I wanted to enter sympatheically and as deeply as I could into the pathology of those of those who have been adversely touched by others. All psycholpathology is caused by the lack of having a loving touch: physically and emotionally or spiritually. Yet, psycholopathology is also a freely chosen state as well. People with psychosis are essentiall still free people to chose how they wish to respond to negative touching of others in their lives.
Here is an example for Charles Dicken's "Great Expectations": Miss Hamersheim has a psychosis - but one that has been freely chosen. She did have a trauma of being UNtuched! Her wedding was all scheduled and prepared for to take place in her great mansion or manor. All the guests were there. All the food prepared. The minister was there waiting for the ceremony to begin. The groom never showed up. The embarassment and heart break for Miss Hamersheim was both interior and exterior: The rejection touched her heart deeply and caused a pain that never went away. The guests did try to comfort her; but she knew that publicly she was proven to be "unloveable" - the greatest fear of any young lade to have. All her imagination of the love of her wedding night - the free caressing - all went out the window of her life. All her imagination of her children to be born was gone. Her hope to touch and be touched by the love of her husband and by the love of her future children and her taking her place in society as a married lady: all vanished!
What of her response? She never took off her wedding dress for the next 40 years. She grew old wearing it. She closed all the blinds in that room and never opened them to the sunshine again. The cake on the table was still there 40 years later. This psychosis was caused by trauma but was chosen and embraced as her way of reminding that man of his evil discourtesy. Her response was to get public sympathy and to hurt that gentelman who spurned her. She now fell in love with her own hurt and got pleasure from it. She chose not to get over it or to date some other man who would have given her the greatest healing touch of all: his love and his making her a mother and a respectable wife in her community. She was touched by trauma but conntinued to touch other with her bitterness. Her redemption partly comes from the love of a 10 year old boy who is so innocent that he approaches her with his own sense of love and wonder. She actually was TOUCHED by Pip's love and respect for her and most of all by his love for Estella - a perfect and pure love that totally the opposite of the man who did love her. But Pip's faith in love begins to hear her. Her healing continues even as Pip grows up and who was always in love with Miss Hamersheim's neice Estella. Pip's persistent love of Estella even when she spurns him and marries Drummen, moves Miss Hamersheim because he never gave up in his love for Estella while Miss Hamersheim did give up on love totally for her or anyone. In the end, Pip does marry Estella. After Miss Hamersheim dies in a fire while Pio tried to hard to save her, Estella enherited the estate. He and Estella go in and he rips down all the drapes and lets the sun in the banquet room. The very last line of the book is Pip telling his audience: us - these lovely words after so much agony of seaching and winning her: "And I saw no shadow of serparation from her again."
ON the positve side: There is great psychological healing in the loving touch of others. I know a woman who was abused by her uncle during her early teen years. To protect herself, she grew in personal armor by gaining weight: 470 pounds. When I met her, she was in a double-wide wheel chair and looked very sad and unable to walk: she was actually physically and mentally dying. I boldly walked up to her out of the blue and without any introduction said this to her (instinctively because her very person told me her whole story) :
"You are beautiful!"
Her reply was: "I don't think so."
I said: "You are beautiful, and I can prove it."
She said: "How can you prove that I am beautiful?"
I said: "I am an artist. Just remain in your chair still; and I will sketch you."
She remained silent during the sketch that took about 12 minutes. I took a side view of her because a side view does not show any weight. I gave her the sketch for her to keep. She took the sketch and really looked at it intently and said:
"Maybe I am beautiful!"
I said: "Of course you are! Would you like to come with me to RCIA class to learn about becoming Catholic?"
She said: "I am a happy Baptist. Why should I become Catholic?"
I said: "Why don't 'come and see!'"
She did come and did become Catholic. On Easter Saturday night, she received her first Holy Communion which TOUCHED her deeply. She said:
"I never felt such a joy in all my life. I wanted to go running down the street waving my arms in 'Alleluia".
She had been touched by the Lord deeply. She did not know it at the time; but actually Jesus - with His total Physical Presence - healed her of reasons for her over eating. She now weighs 220 pounds: down from 470 pounds. She told me that if she had not met me she would have died; she was dying. She is now a very dynamic Catholic who came with me to an abortion clinic. She boldly went in and sat with the ladies waiting to abort their babies. She talked one out of aborting by showing other options and by speaking with a loving heart. She who had been touched and healed by Jesus in Holy Communion formed a communion with this scared teenage mother and touched this little mother's heart and saved a baby's life. Those who have allowed themselves to be touched by others and by Jesus in others and by Jesus directly in the Sacraments - become- touchers and healers of others! When I met this woman in her double wide wheel chair, God saw us saving this child's life from abortion. He plans how we are to be touched by others and how we touch others.
There is one more time this woman touched someone deeply: she came with me to minister to an acoholic man named Alex. When we arrived at his appartment, we found him inebriated and laying in his own feces.
What she did was truly Christ in action: she is a big woman, bigger than Alex for sure. She litterally picked him up off the ground and carried him into the shower. She stripped him naked and put him under the shower water full blast. While scrubbing him down, she sang songs to him to keep him calm and peaceful. She gave me a command, too. She is a no-nonsense woman. She said to me: "Take his clothes in this garbarge bag and throw them out; they are not washable!" Just please picture what she was doing for Alex. She was Christ washing him of all his sins and addiction with a scrubbing touch accompanied by singing. Her voice still rings in my ears...such a loving and kind and healing tone. Healing is passed on by those who have been healed through TOUCH! Please understand that you may think this should be under the category of spiritual healing rather than psychological healing; but remember the root word of Psychology, the "psy" in Greek means "spirit". Psychological means actually being touched both in the mind and the spirit - all at once because we are not separate bodies and souls. Our souls are so closely related to our minds and our body that what goes on in our minds changes our bodies: the psychosomatic (spirit-body) interaction is so strong that the mind can give us ulcers, can cause cancer (resentment can cause cancer), depression and even cause a bone to break.
If one's mind is abused by guilt feelings, this can hurt the body as well. Guilt does more harm to the body than stress does. Guilt does no good; but sorrow over evil actions can lead to repentnance and forgiveness from God and others in our life that has a great effect on our health. So, now let us turn to a discussion on "Spiritually".
4) Spiritually:
According to Aristotle, the spirit is where we have the capability of abstraction. He saw that we were able to understand and come up with a definition of all trees by abstracting the essential characteristics of a tree and making a universal definition to cover all trees possible. So for this end, we see that spiritual if non-physical phenomenon. Aristotle said that the soul is a simple entity and had to parts and therefore could not fall apart and is eternal and can live outside the body. When communion with the Divine, he said a sitting posture is best. This ability to commune with the divine comes from the core of one's being - the soul. When we hear that someone will say: "I am not religious but spiritual", what do they mean exactly? "Religio" - means a 'relationship with God. So, if they are spiritual and not religious, with whom do they have a relationship with? Religion is our faith in God; and our Spirituality is how we commune with God. For Catholics, their Spirituality is Sacraments as being touched by God; and the soul's allowing God to touch their soul.
All that being said, for our discussion, the term "Spiritually" means being touched in our souls by something that is perceived spiritually: for example, Beethovan, Chopin, Chaikowski - all - can touch us spiritually in our souls. A beautiful painting, sculpture or our spouse's beauty can touch us deeply spiritually - as manifestations of the Divine Beauty that we are capable of experiencing because we are spiritual - that is - we have a spirit that can be touched. The Beauty of this world, the Universe, the face of our child, the flowing wheat field in the sunlight that looks like the movement of the sea: all of these things can and do TOUCH the soul - if we are open.
Cordially:
The Latin word for "heart" is "cors - cordis". We get the word "courage" from this. What is the difference between the spirit and the heart? I believe that the "heart" is a term that connotes the most inner or center of the soul: the placae we meet God.....the place or source of our love for anyone or everyone that God has given into our lives to love.
The Psalmist says: 37: 3-7 - "Delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of the heart." The word "heart" seems to mean the very center of who we are: the executor of our whole being.
Jesus says: "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." In both of these two examples of the use of "heart" in Holy Scripture, the word "soul" does not quite perfectly fit as a substitute. Perhaps the word "heart" is a perfect metaphor for the whole of the most inner-sanctum of our being. When I write, I write from this center - the heart - of my being. I feel this is a form of prayer because to write is to encounter the Holy Spirit within me. "Know you not that you are temples of the Holy Spirit?"
When from someone's heart, this person says to you: "I love you", your heart can easily resonnate and feel and express "I love you back." Why? Because the heart can be moved by love and moved to love.
There are songs on the natural level that speak of this kind of love: "What the world needs now is love, sweet love; because the world has so little of.." Also another song: "O sweet mystery of love at last I have found you.." And another: "You are nobody until somebody loves you." All these natural feelings about love and feelings of love can TOUCH the world and be TOUCHED by love because Love touches the Heart which is created for love.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let us look at these 5 above categories not merely from the natural side but from the "supernatural" side. What is supernatural? Well, here are a few natural and supernatural virtues to illustrate the difference between the Natural and the Supernatural: We need natural faith to want to go to school: we must have faith that the institution is accredited and has good teachers. We need faith to believe that our chosen career will bear fruit in our lives and others lives. We need faith that our car will start and get us to class. We have to have faith even that the sun will come up tomorrow. We also have to have hope that we will graduate, hope that we will have the health to finish school, and the hope that we can do well in our chosen career. Likewise we need love or devotion to our studies, and love for the people we will serve in our medical, or sociological, or educational, or legal career. a musician must have a love for music to excell. Love for our career, our art, our expressions in music and literature - all - compel us forward and upward. To love is to have "enthusiam: - a Greek word that mean "en-theos - "to be caught up in God." So, all these examples are examples of Natural virtues.
The Supernatural virtues of Faith, Hope and Love are very different because what we have Faith, Hope and Love IN is not ourselves but IN God!
Therefore, Supernatural Faith means the ability to believe and trust in God. This ability is not natural but a gift from God that is Supernatural because the origin of this gift of Faith comes from Baptism - a gift from the Holy Spirit.
Likewise, Suprnatural Hope - a gift of the Holy Spirit at our Baptism - is as St. Paul puts it: "The substance of things hoped for that appear not." If they could be seen, then we would not have hope but possession. But HOPE is a kind of spiritual possession of the things we hope for. Hope outstreaches the hands of our soul to receive the gifts we hope for from God.
Supernatural Love - Charity - is the gift from the Holy Spirit at our baptism that gives us the ability to love God and love His children for God. How do I know that all these gifts do come from baptism? Well, the best proof is that of my own children who were baptized at infancy. When my daughter Cynthia (literally: "with-God") was only five years old, she told me: "Daddy, God is speaking to me!" I said, "Of course God is speaking to you; your name means 'with-God'." And off she went as content and happy as she could be. she and all of my children had a relationship with God from earliest childhood. Infant baptism is very very good.
Ok,...now we understand the difference between Natural and Supernatural. So, let us look at the 5 above categories of TOUCHING AND BEING TOUCHED SUPERNATUALLY:
1) Physically, 2) Emotionally, 3) Psychologially, 4) Spiritually, 5) Cordially:
1) Physically:
At Lourdes in France, there have been documented miracles since 1860 to the present. These devout people are Touched by God and cured usually when or at the time the the priest blesses them with the Most Blessed Sacrament: The Eucharistic Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Fr. Joseph Chricop was there when such a miracle took place in the 1980's. He said there was an Methodist Christian man there who was a paraplegic and only went to Lourdes because all his friends told him to do so. While there he was healed in front of every one. Father Joe said that all the people clapped like this man had just made a touchdown. There was a fundamental joy that everyone felt for this man and for the Power and Love of God. This man allowed himself to be supernaturally TOUCHED by God.
2) Emotionally:
Jesus was so amazed at the lack of faith in Nazareth, that he could not work any wonders there. But when the Centurian said: "I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; but just say the word and my servant shall be healed," then Jesus was amazed again and said: "I have not found this faith in all of Israel."
So, Jesus is touched by faith or the lack of faith. He is touched emotionally - is "amazed" to find: "I have not found such faith in all of Israel" and is "amazed to find such lack of faith in Nazareth." Also, when asked by the Pharisees a trick-up question, Jesus "looked around in anger." Thus these examples are Supernatural touching by events or attitudes as they relate to God and the economy of Salvation.
So we know that Jesus had emotions and was touched by the death of His friend Lazarus. This is a short sentence in the Gospels: "Jesus wept." But does God the Father have emotions, too? If so, does the Father ever show His emotions? He sure does: When Jonas was told to tell the Ninevites that in 40 days the City would be destroyed, the people repented. And God seeing this "repented of His sentence against the people of Ninevey and did not carry it out." Also, when Jonas was so angry over the loss of a gord plant that died and now did not shade him, the Father said to Jonas: "Are you angry?" Jonas replied: "I am angry enough to die." Then the Lord said to Jonas, "You want me to destroy all of the Ninevites who do not know their left hand from their right..not to meation all the cattle and sheep. But you are worried over this plant that you did not plant. Jonas, you have no reason to be angry." This shows a very calm God the Father in the face of His creature who is full of emotion. God the Father shows loving kindness to Jonas teaching him to understand that if Jonas cares for his dear plant, so God must care for His dear people.
But please let me tell you of two personal experiences with the emotional responses of God the Father. The first one is told in detail in Proverb #142: "Epiphany....paragraph #6. In that account, the Father reacted to my simple prayers that I was only saying casually. But His response was one of an eternal display of His powerful emotion. His response was from an Eternal Being, Himself, to me a tiny creature. I thought I would die...and waited..about 12 minutes to see if He were taking me home to Himself. Please read the whole account in Proverb 142. Thank you. This account was an "infused contemplative experience" where God has access to my soul and shared His own thoughts and emotions with me. This then was a true Supernatural "emotional" experience.
The second experience of the emotions of the Father was a tremendous display of Fatherly emotional love. The whole account of it is in Proverb 37: "Getting a High Five from God." That response from God was truly emotional. I gave God a high five by jumping two feet in the air to slap Him a high five of joyful thanks for answering my prayer. Now, you would think that would just give God a smile. Well, maybe God never got such a "high five" before from someone off the ground. Now, what would you do if your child slapped you a high five out of love? Would you not give your child a high five back? Well, God did exactly and literally that very things. Please see Proverb 37. Thank you.
3) Psychologically:
The demoniac in the Gospel "lives among the tombs and bruises himslef with stones." In psychology today, there are studies of people who cut themselves or hurt themselves driven by guilt or self hatred or introjection of their hatred of others unto themselves. This is both a pathology and sometimes a sign of possession. But still Jesus is Lord of the Mind and cures this demoniac; and the Gospel says: "They found him (demoniac) in his right mind." In this miracle, Jesus cures both mind and spirit Supernaturally by His miraculous TOUCH of Power. If Jesus can command the wind and the sea so that these obey Him, how much more can Jesus calm the storms of the spirit and the MIND. Jesus is Lord of all that we are...if we let Him TOUCH our lives.
4) Spiritually:
All the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church are Supernatual Signs of Grace. These Sacraments are visible TOUCHINGS from God, the HOLY SPIRIT. These Sacramental signs can be seen, touched, tasted and sometimes smelled (Holy Oils). But the most important aspects of these Seven Sacraments of the Church is that they are Supernatural and Spiritual encounters with Jesus Christ. These Sacraments are Ritual Signs that DO what they SIGNIFY. Bapstism has the pouring of water while the priest says: "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." This visible washing DOES actually cleanse the soul. The Sign does what it signifies! This Sacrament takes away original sin and makes the person a child of God.
All the Seven Sacraments are Supernatural TOUCHES from Jesus Christ through the Sanctifying action of the Holy Spirit.
But the most important and greatest Sacrament comes within the context of the Mass: Jesus' Paschal Mystery: His sufferings, His death and Resurrection - all - take place in the Mass. Does this mean as the Protestants say that we recruciby Christ every day in the Mass. That understanding is fallacious and without understanding. What happens at Mass is that Christ TRANSCENDS time and place to be PRESENT to us in His whole Paschal Mystery. We are - at every Mass - transported to the Hill of Calvary and witness the one-time sufferings and death and Resurrection of Jesus. Jesus is PRESENT to us in all these events in His life - NOW - in the Mass. Jesus died once; but we can go to that Hill of Calvary every day to see Him die and rise from the dead. For example from human life: When couples in marriage celebrate their love fully and sexually, are they celebrating a new found love? Yes, in the sense that their love is growing; but in reality it is the same love they have had at their wedding day. The vows they exchanged on their wedding day is re-presented to each other in their celebration of love. IN the same way, Jesus's Redemptinve Love for us is RE-PRESENTED to us every day in the Mass - that same one event that took place 2000 years ago is re-presented not as a new love but that VERY LOVE is giving to us NOW in the Mass. That is what we Receive in Holy Communion: the suffered-died-resurrected Chrsit! We are not only present on the Hill of Calvary, we can receive Jesus into our souls - really and actually - His Body and Blood and Soul and Divinity! That is why just one Holy Communion can make us a Saint. Jesus said, "Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood, I shall raise him (her) up on the last day." He said that because when we receive Holy Communion, we are being TOUCHED BY A RESURRECTED BODY: we have to be raised up by His word and by our having touched His Body and His having touched ours. For example: the Pheocian woman said: "If I but TOUCH the hem of his garment, I shall be saved." She was right; and when healing went out of Jesus' Body, he turned and said: "Who touched me!" But the whole crowd had touhced Him; but they did not let themselves be touched by Jesus. This women did! There are millions who know of Jesus and can profess faith in Him.....but do not let Him touch them. This is why Jesus will say to them on the last day: "I do not know you!"...."Away with you evildoers!" But they said: "We ate with you...walked with you in the streets....." But Jesus will say to them: "I do not know you." It is not enough to believe in Jesus or to study him or to talk or write about Him: we must let HIM TOUCH us!
The reason why Adam and Eve were told not to partake of the fruit of good and evil lest they would die, was that God knew the closeness between the body and the soul. Only God knew of how the soul can effect the body. If a mortal/original sin is committed, then the death of life in the soul causes the soul to begin to die as well. God did not tell Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of good and evil because He would punish them by causing them to die. Absolutely not. God did not ever plan or create DEATH. That was created by sin. When Adam and Eve lost God's Grace (His Life, the Holy Spirit in them), then their bodies began to die that very second. According to the Bible, Adam lived nearly 1000 years. His body was so perfect and was made so as to never die, that it took that long for his body to fully die. But Jesus was the promised Redeemer who by dying in our stead gave Him the power to raise us all up in the Resurrection. Jesus said: "I am the Resurrection and the Life!" Do you see how powerful that statement is? Jesus undid the sin of Adam and Eve and all the sins of humankind past, present and future. Jesus brings us all to Life forever. That is why He said: "Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood, I will raise him (her) up on the last day. People who continue in sin....negate their own paid-for-by-Christ Resurrection. They reject their own redemption. But those who continually repent and confess to the Lord let the Mercy of Christ to TOUCH their souls and bodies with His own Resurrected Health and Life..now and forever!
"Cordially:
The great Saints like St. Teresa of Avila spoke of a Supernatural Spiritual Marriage between her heart and the Heart of Jesus Christ. This is called the Unitive Way: the joy of being married to Jesus Christ now and in eternity. St. John of the Cross used language from the Song of Songs to describe his soul's relationship to Jesus Christ. These two Saints are mystics who have fallen in love with Jesus Christ. St. Mary Margaret gave the world in the late 19th century the Devotioni to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And St. Faustina gave us the devotion to the Merciful Heart of Christ: "O blood and water that gushed forth from the Heart of Christ as a fountain of Mercy, I trust in You." Jesus' Merciful Heart wants every sinner no matter how big or small to come to His Merciful Heart. He loves the sinner and has already suffered on the cross for every person's sins. If a sinner does not come to Jesus for forgiveness and Mercy, then Christ's sufferings for that person were in vain. If Jesus HAS already paid the price for our sins, we should go the Fountain of Mercy: His Sacred Heart.
Does God the Father have a Heart? Well, regarding David, the Lord said: "Here is a man after My Own Heart." In turn, David loved God: in Srach 47: 2-11, we read: "With his whole heart, he love his maker." Also, Enoch walked with God; and he was no more, because God took him." God really loved Enoch!
Jesus gave us the most perfect accont of God the Father's Heart-felt love for us, His Prodigal Sons and Daughters: "The Father saw His son from a far way off, ran to him, embraced him and kissed him." In this story of the Father who looked to the road every day to see if His son/daughter would come home, is the Truest picture and exposition of the Heart of God the Father ever told. The Prodigal Son Story is the most perfect TOUCHING of God the Father of all of us. There is no story in all of human history that more beautifully tells how TOUCHED the Father is by us..and how He TOUCHES us - if we allow Him to.
Charity: our ability to Love God and love all others for and in God is a supernatural power. We receive this gift at our baptism from the Holy Spirit. Jesus said the first commandment of the Law says: "Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God with your whole heart and soul and strength and will." And the second is like unto it: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as yourself." Jesus was giving us the HEART of the Law. But Jesus also said: "A new commandment I give to you: Love one another as I have loved you." Jesus had earlier said: "As the Father has loved me, so I love you." Also, after Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love Me?" three times, Jesus said, "Feed my sheep..feed my lambs." Jesus wanted to show us that love of Him has to be connected to love of Jesus' sheep. Love of God without loving our neighbor is like one had trying to clap. It cannot be done.
Well, there you have the whole story of TOUCHING AND BEING TOUCHED both naturally and Supernarually. I hope and PRAY that you and I will be more open to being Touched by God and by those whom He sends into our lives to TOUCH us so that we can be healed, loved and readied for Heaven - our full Redemption so that God can embrace and kiss us for all eternity. Amen.
Love, Pio
