Faith and Healing

In our past 30 months I have been known to pray while forming the sign of the cross on Paigee's head with water from Lourdes, France. A liter of the water has almost made it to the end of our journey. (The water was funded by Paigee's Maternal Grandfather, purchased by Paigee's Maternal Aunt Tese; a Nun in the Catholic Church.)More Expensive than Evian

And now a very close and dear friend Betty Jane Buchanon, has mailed healing dirt from Chimayó, New Mexico. ( Somewhere around 1810, a Chimayó friar was performing penances when he saw a light bursting from a hillside. Digging, he found a crucifix, quickly dubbed the miraculous crucifix of Our Lord of Esquipulas. A local priest brought the crucifix to Santa Cruz, but three times it disappeared and was later found back in its hole. By the third time, everyone understood that El Senor de Esquipulas wanted to remain in Chimayó, and so a small chapel was built on the site. Then the miraculous healings began. These grew so numerous that the chapel had to be replaced by the larger, current Chimayó Shrine -- an adobe mission -- in 1816.) Chimayó

Each night I am now mixing both items and from that paste I now form the sign of the Cross on the Tumor on Paigee's head every night before I retire to bed.
