"Good afternoon Father McAlear,
I am thinking about you and hope you are well. I am very greatful for your videos and prayers you have done to intercede for me and my family. I just want to say thank you and just know your video Jesus Heals and Tears literally saved my life from the pits of despair."

“Father, a month ago my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. When we found out we were both distraught and lost. I found your website and began reading and watching your videos. The initial reason I started reading and watching was to find out how to pray for healing. What actually happened was I learned how to communicate with Jesus and I opened my heart back up to my faith and beliefs. I have had struggles but I am always able to overcome it. We attended your healing mass in ... and it was very uplifting. We had a very peaceful feeling on our drive home. I would like to thank you and your ministry for helping us get through a very tough time and continue to ask you to pray with me“
"A few months back I had asked for your prayers for my cousin who had non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He is cancer free. Fr. Mac Please continue to pray for him that the Cancer never comes back."
“I wanted to share something that happened since January 14th ... I brought my mom and aunt up for healing. They are twins. Both have problems with their eyes. My mom is completely blind in the right eye, with a detached retina. The left eye has both wet and dry macular with other complications which make seeing difficult. Since they also don't hear well when Father asked what he should pray for, I mentioned the problems with my mom's sight, and my aunt's skin cancer. Thank you Jesus!!! My mom came to NY on Saturday for her monthly shot in eye that has macular. While there has been a slight improvement with that eye, the eye with the detached retina has miraculously attached itself!! She can't see, but I have faith that this too will come. Thank you Jesus! And thank you Fr McAlear!!”
“I am trying to contact you to send you some information regarding the healing mass you did a couple of years ago in ... Our family attended this mass and had an absolutely amazing experience.
Our daughter, ..., was diagnosed with a kidney disease 5 years ago. We attended the healing mass that you held. The mass was extremely powerful and I truly felt that we went for ... but I came out healed. You came up to me and grabbed my head..and honestly my life and mind changed. Gone was my worry, gone was my stress, my mind as a mom was healed. However, slowly (my daughter) kept getting better! Against everything we had been told to prepare for! 18 months ago (she) was taken off all meds, because she had met her allowed time on them. As the meds were lowered slowly..(she) IMPROVED!! On Monday we went to Cincinnati to see her nephologist..her Dr stated that for some reason she believes (her) body healed itself!!! She said she feels there is less than a 5% chance that (she) will EVER relapse!
Going to the healing mass was a big decision. As a mother, I wanted my children to see our faith in EVERY situation God hands us, however, I did not want them to think that God wasn't listening if He didn't heal her. The homily you gave was all about healing..and how ALL of us need some form of healing. As you spoke I knew I made the right decision attending because your words were not about medical healing (however, I do believe a medical healing took place!).
I just wanted to Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You changed my life and I am grateful!”

F"ather McAlear, I attended your healing Mass last year. At the time I did not feel that I needed healing. I had read the testimonials and wanted to attend the Mass to see “faith”, to know that God is here on earth. I did go up for a blessing and you asked me a question about why I came and I gave a “nervous” answer “to see you”.
I attended another service conducted by you. I did need healing in my soul but have been struggling with sadness, forgiveness, and guilt. I went to visit my priest before the Mass and he gave me your book on “Forgiveness”. As I read the book each page seemed to be written for me. I implemented the teachings and immediately felt better. I made the decision right then to attend your next healing Mass.
The night before the Mass I went to bed like a child the night before Christmas knowing that Jesus would help me. I was not certain of the results or how I would feel leaving the Mass, but I knew that Jesus would be present and things would be OK.
Words cannot describe the peace and happiness I felt after your services. My life changed in many good ways. I had been on anti-depressants for two yrs and was in a very unsettling marriage. I no longer take the anti-depressants and my marriage has improved. I felt the Lord's presence working through you, it is always a blessing to be at your Mass. The gentle generous love of God and His Holy Spirit speaks to us through your ministry. Thank you for praying over us. We came away with lasting peace and joy and an assurance Jesus had healed whatever we needed to be there for that night."

"I had a smoking habit for 50 yrs and tried many times to quit. On Oct 2009 we had a special healing Mass and all weekend I asked God to remove my bad habit and surrendered everything in my control of smoking to God. After the Mass, Father had a special anointing for those who cared to receive it. My friend and I witnessed several people falling back as they were anointed. I have only seen this happen on TV and thought it to be part of a show ordeal. I asked my friend if we should go up and get anointed and she replied to me that she was also kind of scared and I said, “Don’t worry, that won’t happen to us”!
My friend was first to be anointed and I saw her fall back. Before I could say anythingFather anointed me and I fell back. All I can say I remember was that while I was laying down I had my eyes half open but only saw white and nothing else. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks and could hear church organ music. I am not sure how long I laid there but I can say that was the most peaceful feeling I have ever experienced.
I started to sit up and cry when I heard someone say to me, “It’s alright to cry.” I started to sob uncontrollably, how long I have no idea! When I stood up my friend and I hugged each other and went to sit down crying and wondering what had just happened!
As I got into my car, I reached for my pack of cigarettes that laid on the seat. I opened the box, took out my lighter and cigarette, looked at it, put the lighter back in the box, closed the lid and put it in the glove compartment. Now, 2 years later, I have not had even a desire for a cigarette! My husband still smokes but not even once have I thought that I want to smoke. What a Miracle. I praise the Lord daily. I know that it’s only through His grace that I was cured."

"Your visit changed me and I want to sincerely thank you. The committee that brought you to ... were the last to receive a blessing from you. When you walked up to me and raised my chin to look me in the eyes, I saw the face of Jesus Christ. It keeps coming into my mind and and puts a smile in on my face and in my heart."
"My mother in law received healing last night at your mass in .... About a week ago a CT scan showed interstitial lung disease, a progressive and fatal condition. By the grace of God, I stumbled upon your book on healing prayer and then our first miracle, I saw you were here in FL this week for healing mass! My mother in law is a devoted Catholic and we know God arranged for this special meeting. After service you anointed her with oil and prayed. Today she had a doctors visit to review additional tests and the doctor found no sign of lung disease. He gave her a breathing test and her results where perfect! He compared it to one she had two years ago as part of a standard screening and it was better today than before she ever had any known issue! You are such a blessing to our family. There simply are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Father McAlear!"
"After your Healing Mass on September 12th in Tewksbury, my friend Alice's leg wound was miraculously healed overnight. It shocked her, her family and her doctors."
"You are amazing father McAlear. Ever since we met in Syracuse my head pressure has been gone. I continue to keep you and your health in my prayers daily. It's a beautiful thing what you do through our Lord."
"Hello Fr. McAlear!
I reached out to you about a month or to ago in regards to my mom ... who was diagnosed with colon cancer that spread to the liver. I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for your prayers. I'm happy to say that her blood tests have improved dramatically and almost all levels have returned to normal and all her symptoms have completely disappeared. She has 3 treatments left, so we are praying so hard that God blesses her with continued healing and remission at the end of this. Her improvement has been so inspiring to us.
...
Thanks again Father. Your prayers have been a complete blessing and I will never forget it."

"My husband, my sister and I attended your healing mass last May. We drove up from NJ. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis last December, a progressive terminal lung disease, source unknown. Your healing mass was a very intense experience where I sensed a quiet shift, a glimmer of hope. At my doctor appointment yesterday, where I had many pulmonary tests, I was told my statistics were phenomenal, actually almost at normal levels, and my heart rate and oxygen saturation perfect. Besides the prayers, rosaries and novenas, I firmly believe God has healed me through you. Thank you, Fr Mac"
去年の7月、下咽頭がんの末期で余命2か月と宣告された友達、マカレア神父の「心から主に語る」を読んでイエスに出会う。洗礼、堅信、病者の塗油をうけて、4か月後にガンは消滅。元気に高知からマカレア神父に合うために参加した。
Last July my friend who was diagnosed as having a terminal hypopharynx cancer and two months live has met Jesus Christ by reading Fr. McAlear’s book “SPEAKING FROM THE HEAR”. She made up her mind to receive Baptism. 4 months after receiving Baptism, Confirmation and Anointing of the sick at the same time, her cancer had been disappeared. That is why she came to see Fr. McAlear

"Hi Father Mac,
I had a healing at the mass on May 26th. I was totally blind for 6 weeks 60 years ago from TB meningitis and regained perfect accuity with very restricted visual fields. For the past 20 years, I have experienced a substantial decrease in my vision with no explanation. On the way home from the mass on the 26th, I noticed that the road and signs looked clearer to me. My husband and I stopped at the grocery store and while he was picking out a dozen eggs I could read the name on a can of parmesan cheese, something that I haven't been able to do for a few years. Things looked different to me, clearer to me. When I woke up the next morning, my sight was back to the way it had been but I didn't lose faith. The following morning, Saturday, I woke early and turned and saw that it was 5:00 on my husband's alarm clock. I have not been able to see that clock for 4 or 5 years. There is definitely an improvement in my vision. I feel like there is "peace" in my eyes.
I thank you for your ministry and will keep you in my prayers."

"I'm writing this afternoon to share a miracle of healing with you. For the past two Fridays, I have gone to
Adoration with your precious little book, Come Away Awhile. I know I read it years ago, but for some reason,
the Holy Spirit used it now to heal my heart and soul. It is very hard to put into words as things of the Spirit can
be.
I've always understood that Jesus died to forgive sins, that is.... intellectually I got it. Until spending time before
the Blessed Sacrament with your book, it never penetrated my heart. I feel that years of carrying around a ton
of guilt (like the character in the film The Mission), it has suddenly disappeared. This Lent is such a happy time
for me because I actually believe that Jesus loves ME. WOW There are no words, just gratitude."

"I want to let you know that when I was prayed over at the healing Mass last week, all the pain in my back left me. The back surgery which was scheduled for this week has been canceled. Besides all that, my depression has lifted. Thank you and thank God for His grace and healing love,"
"We had an awesome experience with Father McAlear in Belleville Il at Our Lady of The Snow Shrine. For myself it was a very moving experience. A couple weeks after seeing Father my wife ... had a CAT scan and her tumor has gotten smaller. She has now finished chemo therapy and will be starting a maintenance drug in January."
"I have had this cyst on my right wrist for a long time. The night I came home from the Healing Mass, ... the relative who lives at my house was complaining about a lump on the back of his hand. I said " does it look like this cyst on my wrist?" And I turned my wrist for him to see. Amazingly it was completely gone!
Now when I told my daughter about it she said "mom, those cysts come and go". I responded "remember when you had your heel operated on, you were about 12 years. I asked the doctor about it then. That was 22 years ago. He told me just to live with it so I have. I had asked Jesus to take it away so many times due to my vanity. It was just kind of a thorn in the flesh just because it was ugly. But I figured I had lived with it for so long I got used to it. It just disappeared the night of the Healing Mass!"

“Dear Fr.,
I don't even know if this email will find it's way to you personally, and I imagine you receive many many of these, however I just had to write to you and share my experience as of late after my partaking in one of your healing Masses ...
You may remember me, probably don't among all the great ppl there - but what you said to me as you prayed over me has stuck with me these weeks after that Mass. I have to admit, I felt really nothing as you prayed over me, and I felt nothing much as I went back to my pew, but, I had a new awareness of the need of healing in my soul. I guess I actually knew it was there before I proceeded to come … to meet you, but it was something I didn't know how to deal with or fix so I have shoved it down for 29 plus years.
My update is such that in the two weeks following your mass, I read your book on Forgiveness. The exerpts, most especially about St. Paul, made me aware of some things that were blocking me from being able to forgive the ppl closest to me …. I participated in catholic counseling services for over 7 years, and while it was a huge help, I never had closure or maybe I should say, complete forgiveness. I have been in a cycle - forgive - be mad - forgive - be mad - I had lost my peace and I didn't know how to get it back. AFter your Mass and after reading the book on Forgiveness, I reached out to God in a way I guess I haven't before because I received a response that was new. It was like I went to bed one night after my prayer and the next morning and everyday and every moment since that morning, things have been different. I have a peace like I have not known before. I have a sense of losing myself and my hurts in return for something much bigger - the love I have always wanted to share with my family but have not allowed myself to do it because my hurts and anger made me so defensive. That is gone. I have had to change slowly with …, I don't want them to think I went to heaven already and came back - but that' kind of how I feel.
Anyway, it's a new feeling. I have been to many religious sites, many retreats, many spiritual direction meetings, counseling sessions, and never have I had the continued peace as I have had since the Healing Mass ...
Just wanted to tell you that. And THANK YOU for sharing the gifts God has bestowed upon you.
Peace, good health, and safe travels to you, Fr. “

"Father,
I attended two of your Healing services in Lowell last spring. I felt such a peace both times. I was there to receive a healing for my son who was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. He is scheduled for a Petscan on October 6th.
I pray everyday for a complete healing. Please remember my son Joseph Clark in your prayers."

I was praying for a healing priest , and found Fr. McAlear and that he was coming to Long Beach . After he prayed with me and gave a blessing, he looked at me and his words gave me profound peace. When I walked away all the pelvic and leg pain was numb , I knew God had touch me . After attending the healing mass, the trapped nerve has been ' shut down' all the pain is gone and after only 48 hrs I am off all the many pain pills I took every day. I praise God for my healing and my children will never forget our journey from ... Canada. Friends at home are all thanking God for this miracle.
God Bless"

"Hi Fr. Richard,
Great news! The Lord has healed Judy ... (cancer free) and Teresa, her sister, is also cancer free although her doctors want to be checking her every two months as the cancer was agressive. Praise the Lord! Please advise your prayer ministry in Rochester of this terrific news! Thank you all for keeping them in prayer."

"I was reading Father McAlear book "Speaking from the Heart" when I gave up gambling. The two pages were The Cross and Surrender."
"His work is so inspiring and helpful to get closer to our God. I find this booklet ("Come Stay Awhile") so helpful -- I can pick it up any time and it speaks to my heart - the last numbers of this booklet I have given to my friends (lay people) who have just loved it! Thank God - as they say "We can open it anywhere - anytime and it gets right to our hearts".
"I want you to know what great consolation and peace of mind I experience when I read "Come Stay Awhile", "Speaking from the Heart", and "Tears". May your wonderful work continue."
"Dear Father McAlear,
Thank you so much for writing those very special books: "Speaking From the Heart", "Tears", and "Come Stay Awhile" which a very special friend gave to me. As my health is not good, I can pick them up anytime at any page and it gives you so much to think about. May God bless you in your wonderful work."

Thank you and God bless you for your long and faithful and blessed ministry. May God and Our Blessed Mother keep you always near to their Hearts.
At the Fatima Shrine in Holliston on June 17, God touched my spine in such an awesome way that I want to give testimony of this grace and thank you. Kristen came to my assistance after your prayer and urged me to write to you - but at that moment I did not know what had happened or what I could say. The Charismatic Community was my spiritual home in the 1980’s, but I do not attend healing services as regularly now, so when I went up for prayer, I forgot about my spine; I was simply trying to surrender myself to God and asking Him to “change my compulsiveness to true love” as a Scripture of the Mass had prompted me. But as soon as I began to fall backwards, pain shot through my spine and I realized my back was out of control. As five people helped me to the floor assuring me that I would be alright, I kept saying: “I should never go to a Healing Service again…..” Only days later did I realize that I had been terrified that my spine would be fractured. Minimal movement of it has become almost second nature to me … but God touched it, it was not fractured, and it is somehow better because pain that I have just come to accept is lessened.
I am 77 years old and have a scoliosis that I was born with and is now severe. When I first had MRI’s of it in the 1990’s, the neurosurgeon who looked at them was stunned and said he had “never seen anything like this in [his] life”. He sent me to Boston’s best adult scoliosis specialist who told me ”Do not ever let anyone take a knife to your spine because ALL of your muscles and nerves are so pulled out of place to compensate for the curvature that your spine would collapse like a stack of dominoes”. The curvature and twisting has advanced since then, and severe arthritic changes now also complicate the picture. It is something I just live with; in the 37 years that I have been going to Healing Services, it never occurred to me to ask God to heal it because I have been so needy of inner spiritual and emotional healing …. epilepsy since I was 10 and my own sins and failures have been the main things I brought to God, and also my family when Father John Lazanski taught us about intergenerational healing. But God touched my spine at your Healing Service.
Kristen said to write you about what I poured out to her: that on this day - June 24 - in 1997, in Ireland a Mass of intergenerational healing was offered for my family. The woman who had a special ministry in this area saw in prayer through the Spirit a man four generations before me who was hit on the head while working in the peat fields and suffered seizures until he died. After the Consecration of the Mass, Mary saw him again. She, Father Paddy, and I each prayed for forgiveness, and after Holy Communion - Mary saw Our Blessed Mother join us. My uncle’s gown was changed from grey to white, his head was lifted up, and Mary led him to the Jordan River. The lesson explained to me from this is that sometimes people can die UNABLE TO RECEIVE the grace God wants to give them; Father had mentioned before Mass that sometimes people can die in anger. Later, I realized that we can also LIVE in anger and LIVE with blockages to the grace God wants to give us. In Medjugorje in 1989, my gift had been a peace I had never experienced and a promise that I would be “emptied” when I got home. When I came home, I became aware of a “blockage to peace WITHIN me”, which changed my life. God has kept my focus on my need for inner healing, but one’s spine is also very inner ….
Lately, I have been trying to tell my physicians that “epilepsy is not a problem; my spine is my biggest problem”. I do not have any seizures, its medication has been my greatest problem and this is now much more reasonable, and my inner life is transformed. My spine is what could cripple me but I never even thought to pray for its healing, and was terrified when God DID touch it. God has shown me that my faith needs to grow and be open to new areas. I do not know what has changed, but something has changed because I have less pain and more freedom of movement. I am trying to CARE FOR the healing that God has given by exercising more faithfully, and a friend told me to just keep THANKING Jesus.
I would also like to tell you that today belong to a Rosary cenacle of the Marian Movement of Priests. When we met today, one of our group had with her a small Crucifix from Medjugorje that she said had been “blessed for healing by Father McAlear”. She did not know you; a friend had given her the Crucifix. After we pray the Rosary and accompanying prayers, we pray for one another and our intentions in a small circle. Today, we all prayed holding that little Crucifix and then Marilyn prayed for each of us, blessing us with it. We were all greatly blessed by the Holy Spirit. Father McAlear, that Crucifix is a instrument of great grace and anyone to whom you give these blessed items is a truly blessed recipient.
Your book of Seven Biblical Portraits” - including Longinus - gives an e-mail address to make a prayer request. As I send this testimony and thankfulness to that e-mail address, on these Feast Days of John the Baptist and Our Blessed Mother in Medjugorje, I commend my heart and my family to your prayer that I may be obedient to the Holy Spirit and be a woman of love and prayer."
Thank you and God bless you for your long and faithful and blessed ministry. May God and Our Blessed Mother keep you always near to their Hearts.
At the Fatima Shrine in Holliston on June 17, God touched my spine in such an awesome way that I want to give testimony of this grace and thank you. Kristen came to my assistance after your prayer and urged me to write to you - but at that moment I did not know what had happened or what I could say. The Charismatic Community was my spiritual home in the 1980’s, but I do not attend healing services as regularly now, so when I went up for prayer, I forgot about my spine; I was simply trying to surrender myself to God and asking Him to “change my compulsiveness to true love” as a Scripture of the Mass had prompted me. But as soon as I began to fall backwards, pain shot through my spine and I realized my back was out of control. As five people helped me to the floor assuring me that I would be alright, I kept saying: “I should never go to a Healing Service again…..” Only days later did I realize that I had been terrified that my spine would be fractured. Minimal movement of it has become almost second nature to me … but God touched it, it was not fractured, and it is somehow better because pain that I have just come to accept is lessened.
I am 77 years old and have a scoliosis that I was born with and is now severe. When I first had MRI’s of it in the 1990’s, the neurosurgeon who looked at them was stunned and said he had “never seen anything like this in [his] life”. He sent me to Boston’s best adult scoliosis specialist who told me ”Do not ever let anyone take a knife to your spine because ALL of your muscles and nerves are so pulled out of place to compensate for the curvature that your spine would collapse like a stack of dominoes”. The curvature and twisting has advanced since then, and severe arthritic changes now also complicate the picture. It is something I just live with; in the 37 years that I have been going to Healing Services, it never occurred to me to ask God to heal it because I have been so needy of inner spiritual and emotional healing …. epilepsy since I was 10 and my own sins and failures have been the main things I brought to God, and also my family when Father John Lazanski taught us about intergenerational healing. But God touched my spine at your Healing Service.
Kristen said to write you about what I poured out to her: that on this day - June 24 - in 1997, in Ireland a Mass of intergenerational healing was offered for my family. The woman who had a special ministry in this area saw in prayer through the Spirit a man four generations before me who was hit on the head while working in the peat fields and suffered seizures until he died. After the Consecration of the Mass, Mary saw him again. She, Father Paddy, and I each prayed for forgiveness, and after Holy Communion - Mary saw Our Blessed Mother join us. My uncle’s gown was changed from grey to white, his head was lifted up, and Mary led him to the Jordan River. The lesson explained to me from this is that sometimes people can die UNABLE TO RECEIVE the grace God wants to give them; Father had mentioned before Mass that sometimes people can die in anger.

"I wrote to you in April asking you for your prayer as I have bowel cancer that had spread to the liver. I am the 34 year old Austrian woman who lives in in London. I wanted to thank you for your prayer to our Lord again and tell you that I had my first scan since starting chemotherapy. My tumours shrank by half after only four to five treatments. My oncologist was also impressed with the response. They at first always talked to me about luck (in relation to recovery and response) I know it has nothing to do with luck! And I believe that God is healing me."

"I want to share something with you.
I was baptized as an infant. I have always been a "seeker of truth" and followed several different gurus over the years. God has always been important to me, but I was dealing with a great deal of confusion.
After listening to the teachings posted on your web site, I had the profound realization that Jesus Christ is my guru. I was only confused because I kept looking elsewhere.
I was touched by your words and rediscovered the truth that I always knew in my heart.
Thank you for your ministry."

"You're likely busy and have a ton of emails so suffice it to say that I was near dead, and on retreat He started my heart again. Since then I've become more alive and free than I ever dreamt possible. What a Lover we have! Thank you for your part in my new life!!"
"I want to first thank God for your ministry and all that
you do, and in touching the lives of others. I remember when I first met you in
Sydney 10 yrs ago. As I came up for prayer I waited in line for a blessing.
When you reached me I looked into your eyes and saw the eyes of Jesus. I cried
so much. Whatever was in my heart was healed."
"Father,
I have another story for you. The lady from St. Joseph that got a healing the 1st time you came here, that made it in the book, tracked me down after Mass this morning. She wanted you to know that when you prayed over her this time, and she went down, that she smelled the most beautiful aroma. She said she had it all the way home. She said she had been to the doctor prior to you coming, and they found blood in her abdomen, and her kidneys, and could not find where the bleeding was coming from. She was scheduled for another CT Scan a couple days after the healing Mass. she said God had already given her a miracle 5 years ago when you were here., and she did not expect another one. Well, she got one. The CT Scan was completely clear, no bleeding. The doctor said he could not explain it, and she said she told him that she could. She told him what had happened. I am so happy for her."

"Father,
Just wanted to tell you that the lady from St. Catherine's called me and said she had a story for me. At the Healing service on Wednesday night a lady that had a brain tumor removed in 2009, was attached to the sinus cavity. She had no reoccurrence of the cancer since then. After her surgeries she could no longer smell. When she came up to get prayed over, she said she had prayed for all kinds of things. After you prayed over her, she smelled a strong perfume, then she realized she could smell. She did not pray for this, but this is the gift she received."

I will continue to give praise and glorify to God as I will prayer for you Father."

"My husband, John, and I were married on May 1, 1999 and we began trying for a family right away. John’s father, …, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and we desperately wanted him to meet his first grandchild. By May of 2000 and no pregnancy, we visited a fertility specialist and began undergoing many painful tests to find out why I wasn’t getting pregnant. Meanwhile, we continued our prayers for a healthy baby, and for Dad’s healing. By 2002, I was falling into deep depression, and I was desperate for a child. We were blessed by Father … at … to pursue fertility treatments that still allowed us to conceive the baby naturally, meaning no In Vitro Fertilization. We began fertility treatments in April of 2002. During this time, my father-in-law was still battling his cancer, but he was entering the final phases of his fight. Over the next 6 months I underwent treatments of Clomid with artificial insemination and HCG trigger shots to maximize our chances at conceiving. It was painful and emotionally draining. We had 5 failed cycles of treatment, and gave it one last attempt in September of 2002. Because of the physical and emotional toll it was taking on both of us, we decided we could not go any further if our last cycle failed. On September 20 of that year we discovered that our cycle had failed again. We were told that it would be impossible for me to conceive a baby on my own without In Vitro Fertilization. We walked out of the fertility clinic bruised, battered, and utterly broken. Around the same time that fall, we discovered that my father-in-law had multiple lesions on his brain and there was nothing more they could do for him. They gave him 8-12 weeks at the most, and much of that he would no longer be himself. I was having a major crisis of faith, and thought of walking away from the church, when my father-in-law invited us to a healing mass at … that you were presiding over. I agreed only because he jokingly said that I had to go with him because it was his dying wish. We were extremely close, he was more a father to me than my own biological father, so it was killing me inside that this dear man of such strong faith in Jesus was dying such a painful death. At the healing mass on October 9, 2002, we sat near the front, and when the blessings began, people were falling to the ground after being blessed. I remember being so irritated because I only saw this stuff on TV. Dad was trying to explain to me about the power of the Holy Spirit and the power of faith. He asked me to go up and get a blessing, and I refused. I told him that I did not believe in this stuff, that this kind of stuff was for crazy people. I also told him that I would only believe if I saw him healed of his cancer that night. I was just in such a low place at that time, I remember just being so angry. Again, he told me that it was his dying wish to see me get a blessing from you. I very reluctantly went up and received my blessing. I walked away and sat down feeling…..nothing. Half of me expected to see this bright light and feel all warm and tingly inside. I felt nothing, which made me even more angry and doubtful. We left mass that night, and I didn’t give it another thought. The only thing on my mind was how we were going to get on without Dad.
A few weeks had gone by, and John and I had plans to meet up with my family in …. We abruptly cancelled our plans because of the DC sniper attacks that were happening. We were too nervous. We took vacation time from work anyway and just stayed home and did updates around our house. I remember this day as if it was yesterday. John was outside washing the car and I was in the upstairs bathroom cleaning. I felt this sudden wave of dizziness and nausea. I had never felt like that before. I thought that maybe my body was still adjusting from not being on fertility medicines, but the nausea just wouldn’t go away. I realized I missed my cycle. I had an extra pregnancy test from my time of trying to conceive, so I took one. I still get a lump in my throat to this day when I think about looking down at that test and seeing two blue lines. I thought I made a mistake and took another one, it came back positive again. I was stunned. I told John immediately, and he wouldn’t believe it either. We went to the doctor that afternoon and it was confirmed, I was having a baby. The day was October 29, 2002, almost exactly 3 weeks to the day that I received my blessing from you. We were able to share the news with my father-in-law, and he was able to give us blessing before he started losing his memories and his functions. He passed away on January 2, 2003, and we welcomed our first born son, …, on July 3, 2003. When our son was 10 months old, we discovered we were pregnant again. When our second son, …, was 11 months old, we found out we were pregnant with our daughter, …. After welcoming our third child in three years, my husband wanted to visit you again to see if you could remove the hex you put on us. I wish you could hear my sarcasm. It’s hard when you are reading text. We love to laugh about it! We are now a family of six, we welcomed a second daughter, …, in March of 2011. We would be so honored to introduce to our beautiful gifts from God, our gifts that God Blessed us with through your hands."

"Dear Fr. Mac,
On April 26, 2014 I attended a healing Mass at St. Cecelia in Clearwater, Fla. It had been many years since I had attended a true Healing Mass. I came because I so enjoyed praising the Holy Spirit. My husband had attended one of your Masses
and was excited to celebrate Mass together. When we went up, I rested in the Spirit. When I was resting, I felt extreme pain in my upper back,between my waist and my wings. I came not looking for any healing, but I had a problem with standing
and walking for several years with no particular source. I was losing my ability to keep my balance and began using a cane. I had been to my doctor and had several tests, but nothing seemed to show what was wrong. He thought I might have
had a small stroke. Nothing is necessary now, thanks be to God. I wish to thank God for a healing that night as I no longer have any problem with my legs or my back. I am able to walk and stand on my own. My husband, ... and I, ... would like to thank you for following your calling from the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to use you as His instrument to bring forth His Love. God Bless You and your ministry."

"Rev. Richard McAlear
It is 9:38PM in ... and I just finished writing in my
Journal what you did for me on the healing conference last week. I
will never be the same thanks to you. I live with my disabled adult son
and am his caregiver as he has many medical problems and I am getting up
in age. Three years ago my husband left (betrayal ) after 40 years
of marriage he just walked out and never came back. He provides for us by
paying for the house and expenses the rest I cover with my pension. Three
years ago I poured my heart out to his friends and anyone that would
listen - I wanted to reserve his seat in hell. I have lived with
depression, fear and anxiety for three years. I do not take medication in
fact when it was offered to me by a Doctor I asked him if they will ever
make a pill that is called "reality bites" he did not like my
response - I thought it was pretty good. I just pray!!
After buying all your books and having read them I am free of pain and I know
the depression will also start going away. I followed your advice to the
letter and YOU ARE SPECIAL - God sent you here for many of us. I
was unable to finish the mass because of my son - if it had been up
to me I would have spent the night on the floor listening to you talk and
pray.
The next time you are in ... I want you to stay with us
- I am a very good cook and will love having you in my house "Mi
Casa es Su Casa" - God take good care of you for us. I pray for your
health and safety everyday.
By the way I am having everyone I can
think of buy your books. God Bless YOU"

"I didn't know what to expect as I have never been to a healing
blessing before. When I entered the church a had a wounderful feeling of
love. As the service contuined my heart felt full of a love I never felt
before. As I continued to watch and hear you speak I have never felt
such peace in my soul before. When I came to you I felt this love pouring
through my soul and I felt God and our Lord Jesus Christ telling me I was
going to be ok and that he loved me and I asked for forgiveness for
all the mistakes I have made in my life. I looked into your eyes and at
that momement I knew I was forgiven and that Jesus loved me.
I asked Jesus if he could heal me from what I have been dealing with
health wise. I don't think I have ever cried so much in my life when you
blessed me. My whoe body was shaking. Now to tell you about my health
problems I had to resign from work because of my health. I have had
a heart attack,my lungs stayed in an a asmatic state which required me to
have to stay on oxygen around the clock. I was taking breathing
treatments around the clock. I was taking steroids around the the
clock which was causing me to swell about three times my size but I had to
take them just to breath. I couldn't walk I was always out of breath I was
always getting pneumonia in my lungs. I wasn't living I was just
existing.
After I went to ... for my first healing I am off of oxygen around the
clock I only take it when needed and that isn't very often. I am only
taking steriods once a day. I can walk 21/2 miles a day. My heart is
strong and I am living now not just existing. I have been to four
more healing blessings I have not missed one for the last four
years.
I feel stronger and more at peace with myself from your blessings. I
also wanted to THANK YOU
My son ... was having a hard time with his life getting into some minor
trouble with the law I prayed everytime I came to your healings and I
brought him to your last trip to ... and he to received a blessing from
you. I am happy to say he has gone back to college and he has
straightened up his life. He to believes in your blessings and I love the
way you eyes change whenn you bless us it's like looking into the eyes of
Jesus. We can;t wait until you come back to ... Thank You from the
bottom of my heart and for the MIRACLES you have given me."

"Dear Father McAlear:
I attended a healing mass at ...on November 5. While waiting to come up
front, my sinuses started to ache in my left cheek, a familiar sign that I
was in danger of developing a full-blown infection. But instead of
leaving for home (I believe the demons always want you to give up
and quit), I decided I should at least get a blessing, so I stuck it out.
Guess what? I’ve been taking two Mucinex every morning and evening for the
past several months for sinuses, but since approximately 3:30 PM on
November 5, I haven’t had anymore problems. Instead of my head feeling
congested, I’ve got a slightly runny nose, that’s all. Not that I’m
thinking any more clearly, but God definitely unblocked something in
my head! And if I do get the slightest twinge, I rebuke my sinuses—“in the
name of Jesus, by whose stripes I was healed”--and I reclaim my healing,
citing the new day and time. Thank you, Abba, Father, and God bless
you, Fr. McAlear."

Retreat with you last weekend in ... California. I want to express my deep

sister-in-law, who is in remission for breast cancer. She left the retreat
feeling the most at peace she has felt since being diagnosed five years
ago. I for one am feeling more closeness and certainty in God than I
have in many, many years. I can see it in the reactions of my young
children and my husband that the gray cloud that has been surrounding me
is lifted, and they are so happy to have their 'real' mother and wife
back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are a blessing beyond
words. With sincere gratitude,"

"I would have never guessed this would happen to me, but on June 6,
2011, I attended a Healing Mass conducted by Father McAlear, with my
husband. In retrospect, I now realize that God had planned this for me
about 4 weeks in advance when I unexpectedly ran into an old friend
that I had taught with 21 years earlier, in 1990. As we were
catching up with eachother about our lives and families, she shared the
story of her own healing at one of Fr. McAlear's Healing Masses.
Coincidentally and surprisingly, she told me that several local Healing
Masses with Father were scheduled just a few weeks from then. Now,
I've been a Christian my whole life, but the only healings I knew of were
the "staged" ones done by TV Evangelists that us kids used to joke about.
Although I wasn't sure what to think, I trusted my friend and I had
a strong feeling, almost an urgency, to attend one of the Masses.
When my husband and I arrived at the church and saw Fr. McAlear, I
instantly felt the presence of Jesus Christ our Lord. It wasn't far into
the Mass, just after receiving the Sacraments, when I started to cry,
feeling as though Father was speaking directly to me and my
tribulations. As I began to cry harder, a helper of Father's came to
me, sat with me, and laid his hands on my cheeks while he softly chanted
something that sounded like a Hebrew prayer to me. I felt a warmth flow
through my body as he continued His work on me, and I began to relax
and feel a sense of peace that I've never felt before and that I can't
begin to explain. Time stood still and I was with Jesus.
As the Mass continued, I waited for Fr. McAlear to bless me, and I knew
that my life was being changed right then and there by Jesus Christ,
working through the eyes, hands, and words of Fr.McAlear. When Father
came to my husband and I and took our hands, I was crying pretty
hard but I was able to tell him that I needed "everything healed,"
including my body (chronic back pain for 9 yrs, worsening depression,
liver and kidney disease, Epstein Barr disease) and marriage (19 yrs
of marriage that was falling apart, with 2 beautiful children,
unemployment for 2+ years, financial crisis). As Father blessed me and
rubbed the oil on my forehead, I saw and felt Jesus Christ through him.
Although I had been determined not to fall over backwards, I had no
control- I had allowed Jesus to do what He knew I needed. I left
Mass feeling at peace, refreshed in my relationship with God, and feeling
hopeful that everything was going to be alright.
I didn't immediately know that I had been healed, but just 2 days
later, I noticed that I was pain-free, my body was healed, my marriage was
healing, my depression was gone, my worries were lifted, and my life was
full of Jesus' abiding love.
Because of Jesus Healing me through the presence of Father McAlear, I
know that no matter what may come, I will walk all the rest of my days
knowing that Jesus Christ our Lord is right here with me, that He has felt
what I am feeling, and that He is listening to me, loving me,
forgiving me, and bringing me closer to Him all the time. I pray that
everyone, everywhere can someday be healed by Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Savior. Thank you, Father McAlear for your ministry of healing and
love. "

"Hi Fr. McAlear My husband and I attended the retreat day in ... this
past saturday and loved it. I was really really really touched by the
Lord. In fact, our Loving savior and friend Jesus came right down from
heaven and looked me in the eyes. I recognized Him and he showed me
His heart. I have 8 children, 7 living, and if I mulitiply the
infinite amount of love I have for each of them and then multiply that by
millions I might come close to the Love I saw in the heart of Jesus when
He looked at me through you. It was really so beautiful. I actually
have felt sad ever since - a little bereft. Tears come for no reason at
all - I need to see Him More!! I thank you most sincerely and humbly for
allowing God to use you."

"Dearest Father, Thank you so much for blessing me twice in ... I'm the
bald crying one with the lung cancer and I do feel a greater sense of
peace and courage. I am coming to your healing mass at ... on Monday
and am working very hard at accepting my healing. Bless you Father for
being a vessel of the Holy Spirit and allowing him to work through you to
heal so many who are afraid and broken. Please continue to keep me in
prayer."

"Hi Father!
I just wanted to let you know that we're very appreciative of your
love, healing powers and service. I'm not sure how often you get to hear
of the results of your work in the field but it occurred to me, after
bringing my son to you two years ago and again the other night, that
you might enjoy hearing our story. So I wrote a brief post on my blog (see
below). "
"Healing Mass
I was just searching this blog for my last healing mass story and can't
find it. Maybe I never wrote it? Maybe I didn't look hard enough? Maybe it
went the way of other disappearing posts?
In short, we took Son #1 to the pediatric neurology clinic at the
University of Rochester Medical Center one afternoon a couple of years
ago. His Tourette's seemed to be progressing at a rapid pace and our
pediatrician recommended a visit.
His symptoms started so slowly, we didn't quite notice for years. If it
wasn't for my girlfriend ... sharing her daughter's story, and us
beginning to put the pieces together, I'm not sure when it would have
dawned on us. A weekend of eye blinks. (Eye drops.) An ongoing dry
hack. (Allergies. Buy hypoallergenic pillows.) Expectorating. (Yuck! Will
you stop that? You're grossing us out.)
Long story short, the day we were in the clinic, he described all of
his symptoms to the doctor. And he was off charts behaviorally. Beeping.
Snorting. Foot kicks. Hand gestures. Coughing. You name it. The list went
on and on. He said that he tries to suppress his ticks in school but
they come on full-bore at night when he allows them to. She asked how he
knew when a tick was coming on and he likened it to a sneeze: you just
know. We were then asked if we wanted to put him on meds but he, and
we, declined. Until (or unless) it was bothering him socially, why have a
nine year old boy ingest a toxin?
The next night my sister and I took Son #1 to a healing mass at a local
Catholic church. After the service, the visiting priest, Father McAlear
(who looks a bit like Sean Connery complete with sparkly eyes), laid
his healing hands on our heads and said a prayer. Guess what: the entire
crazy spectrum of symptoms gone. Completely gone -- for maybe six or nine
months at which point they came creeping back but, to this day, have
never been as bad as they were a few years ago.
Flash forward to Tuesday night this week. My girlfriends ... were
headed to ... in the next town over for another healing mass. Same priest.
This year, he was touching people and they were fainting. Literally
fainting. It was surreal.
He came to Son #1, chatted for a minute, prayed over him and then said
to him, "Do you know what you have to do now?" Son #1 replied, "No, what?"
and he responded, "Get a haircut."
Yes Grannie, you have an ally in the Catholic church. "
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"I just want to take a minute to relate my own healing experience.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with AML Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I was
living on transfusions, trying different meds and treatments but was
finally told by four doctors that nothing was working and that I had 2
to 4 months to live.
So I came here to St. John's - Barbara talked to me and agreed to help
me write up my Funeral - which is still on file (that's the good part) and
promised her prayers and those of the parish.
Fr. McAlear was in town that same week so I was glad to go for his
blessing as well. You could say I was in dire straights!
After telling him of my approaching death he took extended time with me
in prayer and then said something like, "I don't think it's going to be
that way. Have hope." Those words definitely got my attention and
seemed to give me a glimmer of hope. Ann - one of his helpers then came
and sat with me and gave me some reassurance.
So interestingly enough at my next appointment at Strong one other
doctor stepped forward and said that he would be willing to try a bone
marrow transplant if my sister who was with me was a match as there was no
time to wait. They tested her and she was a perfect match which is
pretty rare.
So the journey began with chemo, radiation and all and then this Parish
stepped in with frequent hospital visits, communions, good jokes from Fr.
Mike, Barbara and Tom along with the prayers of the Parish, my family
and friends.
So because of the workings of the Holy Spirit I am cancer free, very
grateful and EVERY DAY IS A GIFT."

"I sent a request last week and within HOURS felt the peace that can
only come from God, it was amazing. Your ministry is truly annointed. I
thank God for it, even as I myself struggle with Catholicism and
forgiveness.
Again, thank you for your faithfulness and may the good Lord continue
to bless you and your ministry abundantly in Jesus' Most Precious and Holy
Name."

"I sent a prayer request last month on behalf of my 15 year old
daughter ... who suffers from bipolar disorder and she improved greatly
within 24 hours of receiving a response. I told her about this beautiful
intercession and she was so grateful and amazed."

"On the 1st week of October 2009 I attended a Healing and Spiritual
Seminar with Fr. Richard McAlear at ... I had a terrible smoking habit for
50 years and tried many times to quit, with no success. On Saturday
October 4, 2009, we had a special healing Mass and all weekend I
asked God to remove my bad habit and surrendered every thing in my
control of smoking to God. After the Mass, Father had a special anointing
for those who cared to go up and receive it. My friend and I witnessed
several people falling back as they were anointed; I have only seen
this happen on TV and thought it to be part of a show ordeal. I asked my
friend if we should go up and get anointed, and she replied to me that she
was also kind of scared, and I said, “Don’t worry, that won’t happen
to us”! So, we went up almost when everyone was done. My friend was first
to be anointed and I saw her fall back and before I could say anything
Father anointed me and I fell back, also. All I can say I remember
[was] that while I was laying down I had my eyes half open but only saw
white and nothing else; I felt tears streaming down my cheeks and could
hear organ music that was being played in the church. I am not sure
how long I laid there, but can only say that it was the most
peaceful feeling I have ever experienced. As I started to sit up, still
not seeing anything, I started to cry; that’s when I heard someone say to
me, “That’s right! Go ahead and cry and wash all the impurities out
of your body.” That’s when I started to sob uncontrollably; again,
how long? I have no idea! When I stood up my friend was just starting to
get up also; we hugged each other and went to sit down crying and
wondering what had just happened!??
As I got into my car, I reached for my pack of cigarettes that laid on
the seat, opened the box, took out my lighter and noticed only one
cigarette left. I looked at it, put the lighter back in the box, closed
the lid and put it in the glove compartment. From that day forward
until now, Jan 2011, I have not had even a desire for a cigarette! Now, I
also have to tell you that my husband still smokes as do some other folks
that I know. Not even once have I had a desire or thought that I
want to smoke. What a Miracle.
I praise the Lord daily for removing the obsession. I know that it’s
only through His grace that I was cured.
Praise Lord, Jesus Christ
Thank you"

"Dear Father McAlear,
I am writing to thank you for the blessing you gave to my 4 year old
daughter ... My family and I brought (her) to one of your healing masses
... in Western Mass. We were in the front pew. (She) was the first person
you blessed right from her seat. She had a tumor in her head on the
right side pressing on her brain and it had come through her ear canal.
You put holy oil on her head in front of her ear, and then again on her
forehead and placed a blessing on her. (She) has been receiving
chemotherapy for only 5 weeks now and she had an MRI scan last
Tuesday to see if the tumor was responding to the treatments. Well, the
tumor is no longer present. There is no sign of it anywhere in her head
and her ear has regenerated skin and has healed to complete
resolution. We are overjoyed at this news and believe whole hearted
that the holy spirit had a major part in this healing process. We will
continue the chemotherapy, however, the amount of chemotherapy drugs will
be reduced we do not need to go every Monday as we have been. Now,
we will go every three weeks and should be completely done by spring. God
Bless you father McAlear for allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you
in order to heal. We are so blessed to have found you and to have
been able to bring our baby girl to you. You will remain in our thoughts
and prayers always!"

"Dear Fr. McAlear,
On October 20, 2010, I attended one of your healing masses in ... What
I felt was undescribable, yet when asked about it, the Holy Spirit
illuminates from my eyes, mouth, and heart. People around me are touched
and want to come back with me to experience the power and peace I
received. I know this was a calling from God because the following day I
was given bad news about my niece ... She is 4 years old and has been
diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her head which is pressing on her
brain.
My family and I will be attending your service on November 9th. We will
be bringing ... and will be asking for your blessing on this child. In the
mean time please keep her in your prayers. I look forward to experiencing
the Holy Spirit once again. Thank you Fr. McAlear."

"Dear Father McAlear
I attended one of your healing Masses last year in ... At the time I
did not feel that I needed healing. I had read the testimonials and wanted
to attend the Mass to see “faith,” to know that God is here on earth. I
did go up for a blessing, I remember you asking me a question about
why I came, and I gave a “nervous” answer something like to see you. If
you do remember this I hope you do not think I was being disrespectful.
Recently, I attended your healing Mass in ... I did need healing in my
soul. I have been struggling with sadness, “forgiveness,” and guilt.
I went to visit a local priest weeks before the Mass. He counseled me,
said a pray with me and noticed that I brought a book with me. He asked me
if I liked to read. I said yes, he gave me a book to read in hopes that it
might help me. The book was your book on “Forgiveness.” As I read
the book each page seemed to be written for me. I read your book and
immediately tried to implement the teaching and right away I felt better.
I made the decision right then to drive out to your next healing
Mass which was in ... It would be a 2 hour drive.
The night before the Mass, I went to bed almost like a child the night
before Christmas. Knowing that Jesus working thru you would help me. I was
not certain of the results, how I would feel leaving the Mass, but I knew
that Jesus would be present and things would be OK.
Right before the blessing part of the Mass, thoughts went thru my mind
about not being worthy to receive help. I was losing courage to be
blessed. Just then, I remembered your words during the Mass of
encouragement. I did go up to be blessed.
I don’t remember much of the blessing. I do remember crying, and I was
ashamed to look at you. You gently grabbed my hand and then my chin to
look you in the eyes. Making I eye contact with you, helped. Someone
else mentioned in a testimonial about looking into your eyes and
seeing Jesus’. I don’t know if that happened but I do know that looking at
you gave a feeling of peace to me. You told me to “exhale” and let go. I
left thru a back door in tears.
As I drove home, my hand which you had touched burned. I can not
explain it. I have no scars but the entire ride home (2 hours) the top of
my hand tingled. On the ride home, I felt I don’t know how to explain it
but a calmness. The feelings I had struggled with have gone. I fell
healed and blessed.
I thank God for blessing your priesthood. Thank you for your help. In
addition to a healing I have also strengthened my relationship with
God."

"It was a very healing experience to be present at last Thursday's
Healing Mass with Fr. Richard. Even before the laying on of hands and
anointing of the sick, Father's teaching on the love of God was, in
itself, a healing experience. It has led me to since search out
scriptures on God's love, as for years I had been researching all
the scriptures I could find in the Bible on healing, but I forgot to seek
first the divine love source that makes all healing possible, the very
love of God behind each love-touch commended in a healing!
Too many of us have been carrying the burden of 'works' mentality, in
trying to work out our salvations and even our healings by our own power,
rather than simply receive, by love, the gift of God. We thought if
we studied hard enough, prayed long enough, and somehow tried to
force our faith higher, we might somehow 'qualify' if we were good enough.
Just now, in listening to the second teaching on Father's web site, I
clearly heard Father Richard say, "Jesus didn't give us a formula
for healing." I can't tell you what a confirmation that is for me, as for
years I have been trying by my own works to just figure out the formula, I
have even used that very phrase in prayer, "Just tell me the
formula, Lord..." when the whole time what I needed was to be reconciled
to God's love, mercy, and goodness, and just receive it as a gift.
I was missing the mark by falling short of comprehending God's love!!
Therefore, I had difficulty receiving due to a sense of low self worth,
guilt, and shame for imperfections. Today I am comforted in being
reminded, had we been so perfect to begin with, we wouldn't have
needed healings or even for Jesus to have come as our savior. What I
needed most was to reconcile myself with the Love of God, the very one who
IS love, and simply receive this revelation. And That is my healing
testimony after 30 years of being a Christian. Since last Thursday, I have
begun to receive the revelation of God's love.
We can't give away what we don't have to give. My healing testimony is
that I went to the Healing Mass in hopes of obtaining a physical healing,
but what really needed foundational healing was my sin sick SOUL which
was missing the mark the whole time by trying to 'work' to be worthy
of receiving a healing miracle. I knew as I was sitting listening to the
homily that a very important message was being preached, but I didn't know
until it soaked in with each passing day just how everything hinges
on the Love of God, everything... not just healing miracles but, all that
God is, and all that is good. Now, I am prospering even as my soul
prospers with this revelation.
Some people may wonder, how could someone be a Christian for decades
and somehow not have fully received or understood the essence of the width
and depth of God's love? The impartation of the Love demonstrated
was such a healing gift in itself that what I'm trying to say is, Father
carried and ministered love so profoundly that it literally changed my
life. Reading about it is one thing, imagining it, another. But to
have God's love so profoundly demonstrated in one of His servants
was of life-changing impact. A person can for years intellectually know
the scripture that says, "God is love" -- but to have it ministered and
actually receive an impartation of that love is an all-together
different experience and level of knowing.
I look forward to seeing Father Richard again the next time he comes
through the local area. I read one scripture today on love in the Bible
that strongly rings clear of Father's willingness to minister in such a
spirit of love and compassion, God's healing on all levels, and I
quote it here knowing all who have met him in person will know that the
Grace of God exudes off this man, tangibly, and leaves us hungering for
more of the very source of that demonstration, the Love of God
through our Lord, Jesus Christ, so I leave you with this scripture:
"For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love
which you have shown for His name's sake in ministering to the needs of
the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do." (Hebrews
6:10)
With that, I thank you, Father. ..."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Fr, Thank you so very much for being an instrument of God's love.
I was BLESSED on Saturday when you prayed over me. I felt strong and happy
and loved. It really felt as though the love of God was upon me and
your beautiful smile felt as though it was the smile of Jesus.
Praise to God for his blessings and praise God for your faithfulness."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Father Richard,
I attended your mass of healing at ... Catholic Church on .... I was
brought up Catholic but have never had a strong faith, though I've tried
harder since marrying my wife 6 years ago.
The point I'm finally getting to, is that when I went up to receive a
blessing from you for my hayfever and not to hate anymore your eyes were
so joyful. I hope this isn't out of line, or stupid, but at that very
moment I swear I saw God in your eyes. There was this expression of
such vibrant joy in your eyes that I have never seen in anyone before and
I felt that joy physically touch me.
So I wanted to say thank you and to ask for your continued prayers. I
particularly ask that you please pray for my wife and I to be able to have
children.
Father Richard, thank you. I feel happier, I feel a better person for
having met you.
I have never written these words before, but God bless you Father.
Many thanks,"

"I recently attended two healing Masses and a retreat with Fr. McAlear.
I went to the first healing Mass filled with expectations that "this was
it"--I was going to be instantly healed of my problems, which include
physical pain and weakness which has been increasing alarmingly, as
well as emotional heartache and anxiety. All around me, people were
weeping, slain in the spirit, or otherwise obviously deeply affected by
their experience. Everyone but me, or so I thought. I was
disappointed but determined to go to a retreat and another healing
Mass with Father a few days later.
At the retreat, Father spoke on two topics which touched me deeply. The
first was the ways in which Jesus suffered everything a human being can
suffer, and therefore truly understands us completely. That deepened
my sense that Jesus really loves me and knows what I am going
through. The second was on blockages to healing, and I realized I had them
all: unforgiveness, guilt, and unworthiness. I spent the free moments at
the retreat praying to overcome these blockages, especially
unforgiveness and guilt. My reaction at the healing Mass that day
was slightly stronger but still, nothing dramatic. In fact, I left in
tears of disappointment.
However, during the ensuing week, I began to notice interior changes in
myself. Forgiveness, for example, had always seemed nearly impossible,
especially toward one individual. That is, I forgave intellectually, but
not in my heart. I resented the need to forgive. In a way, I felt: I
owe this person nothing. THEY hurt ME, yet I am the one who much be
generous and forgive? It was especially hard because this particular hurt
is ongoing. Yet, since the retreat and Masses, suddenly forgiveness
began to appear almost exciting. I felt strangely pulled to forgive.
Father had made it clear that at its core, Chritanity is all about
forgiveness, and that to forgive is to be as close to Christ as we
can be. He had already established Christ as my dearest friend who
understands all my pain; now I was being drawn to accompany Christ and
allow him to work through me. It is hard to explain but Christ in me
became a much less intellectual concept and more of a felt union. I
felt a strong momentum toward forgiveness.
In the couple of weeks since, this eagerness to forgive has been
challenged many times. I have resisted it at times, and gotten upset with
the person who I most need to forgive. And yet, each time, I HAVE
ultimately been able to forgive. Something happens when I least
expect it that allows me, in the midst of anger and pain, to
suddenly look at this person with the eyes of mercy that Father talked
about, and see them as a beloved child of God. At the same time, with the
help of Father's books (especially "Come Stay Awhile"), I have
deepend my own sense of God's love for me, just as I am, which is
helping me let go of the guilt I have held onto, the sense of being
unworthy that has caused me, as Father said, to come for healing but then
turn away out of a feeling of unworthiness. I had previously gotten to
the state that even when I went to pray before the Blessed Sacrament
at our Adoration Chapel, I was imagining that Jesus was disappointed that
it was me coming for the next hour. Now, when I go to the chapel to
pray, I feel enveloped in Jesus' love.
I think the reason I did not experience instantaneous healing is that I
needed to begin this process of self-realization before I could really
receive Jesus' healing. I know he DOES heal some people instantly; I
know Fathjer has experienced this with some people who attend his
masses. But God also gives us what we need. I think if I experienced
instant healing, I would not have realized the changes I need to make, and
maybe the same problems would have returned to me later.
On a physical level, while I still have some pain, the overwhelmng
weakness I was feeling seems to have left me. I had been getting very
worried about it and even wondered if I was dying. In fact it wasn't until
I sat down to write this that I realized suddenly: it has been
awhile since I woke up feeling like I cannot get through the day. I
attribute it entirely to the healing Mass. I look forward to my next
opportunity to attend one of Father's Masses, where Jesus can bring me to
the next level where I need to be. Thank you, Father, and God bless
you!"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Father, I want to let you know how deeply grateful I am for the
difference you have made in my life in such a relatively short time. You
may remember what I was like before my first healing experience with you,
so quiet and broken, and my body sick from stress and so much
bereavement. I could barely speak and feel. I thought it was what
dying must feel like. I even stopped going to church for a time because I
felt nothing at Mass and so I died even more. I asked for faith because
when you first spoke on the altar that week you talked about how it
is God’s gift to us from which all life flows. From that time my faith has
grown every day and I give thanks for it often. The living presence of
Jesus is the focus of my life now and Mass has taken on a meaning for me
greater than I could ever have imagined that I am often moved to
uncontrollable tears. The gifts and miracles of this past year alone are
too many to list here, including this weekend at the retreat. "

"Hi Fr. McAlear,
... I am writing to you to let you know I saw Jesus in you. It was ...,
2008 at a healing mass in .... I had recently joined a Charismatic prayer
group, just separated after a 23 yr Catholic marriage, on the brink
of dissolving 3 businesses, my daughter ... had just been diagnosed
with epilepsy and I was an emotional and spiritual basket case. I attended
the healing Mass for ... benefit, when my prayer group leader ... told me
to be open, that He (God) knows exactly what He is doing.
I was taken with you handsome good looks and charismatic personality. I
thought you looked like George Clooney and why didn't I know you? I loved
the story of how you all prayed for a truck and someone walked in
the door and offered one while you were praying. ... was also suffering
from a broken heart and low self esteem. When you gave her communion and
said "body of Christ, gorgeous" she lit up like a Christmas tree.
Then when you gave her a healing blessing, and told her she was one good
looking kid she was very much at peace. Thank you.
For me, when I looked more closely at your face and beautiful eyes, I
kept asking myself, don't I know you? Then your eyes morphed to almond
shape and your face changed too, I recognized you, and said to myself, I
know who you are, with a wonderful sense of recognition, Jesus! your
are Jesus! I was fearful to look on the face of Jesus so I closed my eyes.
At that moment, Jesus face transformed from a living human face to a black
and white still of Jesus' face like a screen came down. I wanted to
know if Jesus was happy with me, what His expression was, was he smiling
at me. It was the the most beautiful look and expression of compassion. At
that very moment, you blessed me, touching my forehead with some
holy balm. I had the most tremendous experience of peace and love coursing
though my entire body, like having warm water poured over me from the
inside. Complete peace and love, to see Jesus' face and to feel His
sacred heart. I was looking for a job, and had several other worries, not
a dog gone thing bothered me and has not since.
I asked Jesus where he wanted me to work and live and where could I
serve Him the best. I got a wonderful job with ... and new home just 2
miles from my job, the priced dropped of the condo from $425k to a $300k
over night and my realtor said he had never seen anything like that
in his 25 years in the business. Truly Miraculous. ... went off to
college, at ... University... She received a large merit scholarship
which makes my portion of her room and board affordable. She has
been seizure free for 3 years (taking medication), and her relationship
with her father is much better. Thank you Jesus!
As the anniversary of our healing approaches ..., please be assured of
my prayers. I continue to spend an hour a week with the Blessed Sacrament
and your "Come Stay Awhile" book has been a tremendous boost to my
prayer life. A Mass will be offered for you and your intentions ...
Thank you for sharing the most precious gift of Jesus' sacred heart
with ... and me. It has changed my life forever. I am a Charismatic
Catholic, pursuing a Catholic annulment to be truly free and get my
relationship right with Jesus. I want a deeper more personal and
intimate relationship with Jesus, thank you for leading the way.
May God continue to bless you and your wonderful healing ministry.
Godspeed with all of your endeavors.
With Love and prayers, "

"Father McAlear:
I wanted to advise and thank you of the miraculous healing I received
following my attendance at the recent healing mass at Sts. Peter &
Paul Church ...
Nearly two-and-a-half years ago, I was diagnosed as having multiple
nodules throughout my thyroid. The doctors had taken a watch and wait
approach of my condition. In September 2009, a biopsy of the largest
nodule revealed it was benign. However, over the holidays, this same
nodule grew dramatically and rapidly. My doctor was concerned about the
growth and referred me to a surgeon, who scheduled the surgical
removal of my thyroid for February 15th.
In anticipation of my surgery, I attended your ... healing mass at
Peter & Paul. When I approached you and said I was scheduled to have
my thyroid removed in six days, you placed your hands around my neck,
focusing in on the large nodule even though I never mentioned where
it was located (and although large, its location was not large
enough to be seen by the naked eye). I knew that very moment that God was
working through you.
What I did not know that night was that I would never have to undergo
the surgery thanks to God's healing grace. The day after the healing mass,
I began developing a sinus infection, which ultimately forced me to
reschedule my surgery for March 29th. Although initially disappointed that
I couldn't undergo the surgery as planned (I had gotten myself
psychologically prepared for it by that point), I quickly began to see
this was all part of God's plan. Over the next few weeks, I noticed
a dramatic decrease in the size of the once large nodule. I contacted my
thyroid doctor and requested another ultrasound before the surgery.
A few weeks ago, the ultrasound revealed that not only is the nodule
smaller than it was in December but it's smaller than it ever was before.
My doctor says she has no medical explanation for the dramatic shrinking
of the nodule and has never seen this happen before. In fact, when I
shared with her about the healing mass, she encouraged me to attend
another so you can lay your hands on me again and the nodule can go away
completely. When I said you would not be coming to Florida again
this year, she told me to get a plane ticket and travel up north to
see you then. My smaller nodules have also appeared to shrink somewhat. As
a result, she said I no longer need the surgery. Praise God!
Thank you so much, Father McAlear, for coming to Winter Park with your
wonderful ministry! If it were not for God's healing grace working through
you, I would be undergoing surgery tomorrow.
...
Father McAlear, please continue to pray for my thyroid and please also
pray for my gallbladder. I may be needing to undergo surgery for the
removal of my gallbladder in upcoming months due to gallstones.
God Bless you abundantly,"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"It has been over a year since my healing ... last winter and I felt
compelled recently to thank you and share my story. I had stopped going to
Church and started to lead a destructive life through college and
became pregnant in the summer of 2008. I moved home and started
attending Mass with my sister and felt an urge to attend your healing Mass
with my dad that winter. The whole walk up to the alter for healing I was
crying uncontrollably and couldn't contain my emotions. When you
first stood in front of me you noticed that I was with child but I
couldn't stop crying to say anything. I don't mean this badly...but I
remember looking directly into your eyes felt almost unbearable. When you
laid your hands on my head the feeling i experienced was
indescribable. It felt as though my 'inner' self was just scooped up
very fast and it was just surreal. I had never felt such a
feeling...almost like an electric current. It makes me cry today..but I
feel like you also touched my daughter growing in my womb. She was born on
April 4th. Her first birthday is on Easter Sunday in 2 weeks. I
named her Gianna Gabriel after St. Gianna Beretta Molla and the angel
Gabriel. I pray that I will be able to attend your healing mass with her
later in April. I long to be as close to God again as I was at that
moment."

"I saw someone last night that I haven't seen in awhile. Seems she came
to the Healing Mass at ... with Fr. McAlear. She had a severe pain in her
pelvis area for over a year, and went to several doctors, and no one
could figure out what was causing it, and no one could get rid of
the pain. She said Fr. touched her, she went right down and since the next
day, she has never had pain again.
Praise and Thanksgiving!"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Fr. McAlear, Merry Christmas and thank you for your prayers.
Truthfully, I didn't know why I was restless and weary when I stepped foot
into the church the first night to hear you. Though I am a catholic from
birth who grew up loving Jesus, after your blessing last year, my
heart has been set on fire and I am in love with our Savior! I have found
peace in front of the Blessed Sacrament and now frequently attend daily
mass and the sacrament of Reconciliation. I no longer walk
alone."

"I feel very blessed that I was healed. I was having sharp pain in my
back and could not figure out why. I also was fighting depression. My
depression is much better now. I really would like to thank Fr.
Richard McAlear for blessing me through the Holy Spirit.
God Bless You"

"I am 82 1/2 yrs old arthritic woman, who has had both knees and both
hip joints replaced over the period from 1997 - 2007. I had severe pain
after my 2007 hip replacement, in spite of the fact that x-rays showed
that the operation was done properly, and I could actually walk
alright. I went back for several weeks of 2 or 3 hours of therapy each
week, and my pain was gone and my general health and vigor is excellent.
I feel that this healing and general health, while not instantaneous
was nevertheless the result of Hold Spirit I experienced at a healing Mass
at St. Patrick's two years ago. Sincerely yours..."

full of Life again. I know what hapened to me last night and it was
wonderful. I posted it on faceblook and my space to my family and friends.
I can't wait to call my older sister ... She was saved years ago and
I love her to death. I told her about you and how I felt you were going to
make a difference in my life and you have. I feel GOOD!!! I didn't want to
get slapped last night from people thinking I lost it, but I wanted
to scream with JOY. He is here!!! (Sorry, not you though hahahaha) I

"Hello Fr. Mac!!!!
I have been praying for over the past five months and wanted to write
at this blessed time of year. I hope this e-mail finds you in good health
and spirit. God's awesome work in my life has continued to grow and grow
since this past summer. This is my 5th month with no psychiatric
drug nor sleeping medication. It's truly a miracle. This is the first
Christmas in 11 years that I will be able to celebrate His blessed arrival
with nothing altering my mind! I feel better than ever, my thoughts
are sharp and my heart is overflowing with gratitude to Him for all the
wonderful people and prayers he has brought into my life. My doctors and
others, including ..., cannot believe the change. I smile all the
time, can always find some good even when things don't appear to be and
you know what? My eyes have LIFE in them again!
Bless you, bless you, bless you for your presence in my life and in
that of others. ... I finally found the one thing I've searched 45 years
for......Him! He really is there and loves me and I love him."

"Dear Father McAlear,
Greetings from ... I hope you had a safe trip back to Boston. I just
wanted to thank you for your coming with this powerful retreat. I want you
to know, that through your intercession Jesus has healed me from hernia.
After you have prayed for me at the Healing Service I don't have any
more pain nor problems with hernia. Thank you Jesus and Thank you Fr.
Mac!!!
...We miss you here, and I just heard you are coming back in 2 years. I
can't wait to you comeback. By the way, the priests of our Diocese loved
your retreat! One elderly priest called me and he told me that he was very
moved with your retreat. Thank you Father and may God reward all you
hard work."

"Hello Father,
...
I just got through reading the little booklet, "Speaking from the
Heart"...
I have to tell you, I was so moved, so connected and so close to our
Savior during the reading of those prayers.
When I saw your picture on the booklet, I said to myself, oh yes, I
remember him. Your visit here ... left such an impression on me. I
remember receiving your blessing during that healing mass... but I was so
moved and enlightened by your prayer, your sermon and your words of
advice.
My life, unfortunately, has taken quite a turn in the time since you
were. ... The only thing that has gotten me through all this, is my faith,
prayer and GOD!
And I want to tell you, I was MEANT to find that booklet! I can't tell
you how much it inspired me. Thank you so much for your ability to
communicate, to write, to pray and to share those prayers with others...
I am a lost and confused soul right now. Injured, hurting and full of
despair. I thank God everyday for my faith and what HE has given me in my
life - - the roses and the thorns...
Bless you Father - - and thank you for your inspiration - - and
ESPECIALLY for "Speaking from the Heart"
GOD BLESS YOU"

"Dear Father Mac, I want to thank you for your ministry and for sharing
the gifts that God has bestowed upon you. I attended a healing mass on ...
with my daughter and my mom. ... This was my first healing mass, and
hope to meet you again someday. You blessed me, and the holy spirit filled
my aching heart and chest, and for the first time in a long time, I felt
like I belonged somewhere. It was really God's hand at work for our
attending the service. I have never had such a profound religious
experience that has made a lasting impression on me. I pray this is just
the beginning and the inner peace I have just keep getting stronger every
day."

Ministry."

"Father, I am amazed at the power and love that God has for us all! I
went to your mass yesterday at ... and received a deep spiritual healing.
After I fell I heard a beautiful male voice speaking to me in a different
language and felt a deep peace that I still have. All I can say is
thank you God, thank you God, thank you God! He is so great and I can feel
such a love for him now."

"Dear Fr. Mac,
This is ... responding to the wonderful healing you have done for ....
Week after week I can hardly believe this is the same person I have prayed
for and worried over for so many years. She is in love with God, in love
with life, a new person to her sons and a tower of new strength. I
love you for being there for her, showing her the way with your love and
prayers. She loves you, you know this I am sure.
I can hardly wait to see where she goes, there must be a special need
somewhere just for her, she is eager to serve.
This healing has strengthened my Faith so much. It was a long road that
at times was difficult but with patience and prayer I never gave up hope
for her . As a result I can honestly say that now am right where God
wants me to be. I no longer yearn for anything else other than what
I am blessed with and live in peace.. At age 78, I have a vibrant life
that daily Mass rewards me.
Blessings and wellness and thank you again,
..."

"Father…
...
I spoke to you ... after the mass and again I must tell you that in 41
years NEVER have I felt the way I did at that mass…
When my son asked you that he wanted dear lord to come into his heart
and as you blessed him you were holding my hand and I began to cry and had
a feeling I cannot describe…People who do not believe wont and will
never understand…An absolute miracle in my eyes and my heart !!

"Dear Father McAlear,
On July 1st you offered a healing mass at ... God's power, through you,
healed my grandson. Christian's left eye was completely healed within 2
weeks of the service there. He had a severe clogged tear duct since his
birth in July of 2008. I am still rejoicing, and praising God with
thanksgiving for the gift of healing that occurred in Christian. My
daughter, and son-in-law are grateful as well. All of us experienced the
peace and healing power of God's Love, in our community that night. I
wanted to express thanks for the beautiful mass you offered, and to
personally witness to the healing presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist
working through you as a Roman Catholic priest. I will pray for you in
your ministry, especially in this Year for Priests, as the Holy
Father requests. Thanks for your powerful witness of hope, and healing,
through Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."

"I traveled to Port Orange from the ... area to go to Father Mc Alear's
Healing Mass and I was so happy that I did. I was operated on 3 weeks ago
for bladder cancer and was suffering with pain and could not hold my urine
well and was up every half hour to go to the bath room. Last night
was the first night that I was able to sleep through the night without
getting up until this morning. I was able to make the 3 hour trip back
from Port Orange with out stopping to go to the bathroom. I'm 69 years
old and I arose without my normal groans from the pains in my legs,
hands, arms. Thank you Father Mc Alear for the wise words that allowed me
to let go of the guilt and man ego and not understanding that Jesus wants
me to heal and be well.
Thank you Lord, I've been away too long."

"I was given a copy of Father McAlear's Healing prayer which I brought
to my mom to pray with her. My mom has a rare progressive neurological
disease called Corticobasal Degeneration. It is a dying of this section
(corticobasal) of the brain that affects her motor skills, her
balance, her speech and she feels very light headed and groggy everyday.
She is unable to walk and she had been experiencing back pain caused by
compression fractures from sitting all the time. The pain medicine
really knocked her out. I prayed this powerful prayer to her with tears
streaming down my face asking God for His healing - complete healing but
accepting His will for my mother's life. Three days later on
Thanksgiving Day, 2008 I asked mom how her back was and she said she had
no more pain and I said for how long and we realized she hadn't any pain
since I prayed this prayer with and for her. She remains pain free
today. Thanks be to our Almighty God. "

"I attended your healing Mass in Rochester for the first time this
fall. I found it very deep and powerful. I'm a person with strong Faith
and pray everyday to God for his help By attending that Mass it made me
feel even stronger in my Faith. I find you to be a very gentle and
powerful priest thru God and hoping that in prayer I can receive
God's healing for myself and family."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"I was so moved by the mass, and when you came to me and touched my
head & face, I felt lightheaded and faint. I immediately started to
swoon and cry and had to sit down to recover. I really feel that your
touch from GOD helped me to not have cancer in my lymph nodes, but I
am still left with aggressive breast cancer, as stated will need the help
of chemo and radiation to further kill the cancer cells.
As I fight my continual battle, I would respectfully ask if you could
say a prayer for me to help me recover. I truly believe in the healing of
prayers and believe that “the will of GOD will never take me where the
grace of GOD will not protect me”. "

"Dear Father McAlear,
I attended the healing mass at ... and I was so taken by the power of
Jesus that I could not speak when I came to the alter to be anointed and
ask for healing. After being anointed by you I felt such a feeling of
warmth and peace within myself --something I cannot explain. That
evening when I got home I sat and cried because of the feeling I had
inside of me..
I am faced with a dilemma and this time I ask for your spiritual
healing and guidance in making a decision. I met with a brain and spine
surgeon today and surgery is suggested to fuse my back. I am
frightened to have surgery. In 2005 I was scheduled to have my neck
fused. Two weeks before surgery, after attending Sunday mass at ... with
my family (Mother's Day) I suffered a brain hemorrhage causing a
stroke so surgery was canceled. To this day I have not had my neck fused,
I have been dealing with the pain.
When I went to your healing mass at ..., I was in severe pain in both
my neck and back. After being anointed by you I have not had any neck
pain and I am grateful and thankful for what Jesus has given me. I
am asking you for healing to my back as well. I fear having surgery due
to what happened to me in 2005. Thank you and God bless you for all that
you do for people all over the world."

"Dear Fr McAlear, I want to thank you for the healing and peacefulness
I received during a healing mass. I knew I was looking into the eyes of
Jesus and when you touched me, I began to cry and you turned back to me an
said,"It's going to be okay." You see I have battled breast cancer
and when I came to the mass , I was facing more surgery. Well the surgery
revealed that I was cancer-free!!! Jesus' love and healing is what I
believed happened. I will never forget and always be grateful for
this gift of healing. Thank you for your ministering to heal. God bless
you"

"Father last night I attended a mass in ... church. It was wonderful,
and so were you
As I waited at the alter for you to bless me, I just kept staring at
the blessed sacarment thinking I should be on both knees while waiting for
you, then all of a sudden I became emotional I stated to cry. The closer
you came the more I cryed.
When you reached me you touched my head and my face and told me what a
tough life I have had , but GOD was with me all the way, that he never
left me.
Father no one has ever understood how felt inside before, your eyes are
the eyes of GOD, I thank him that I could be in your presents.
you brought someone over to me to hold me while I cried and I cried for
a long time and very hard.
No one has ever touched my heart the way you did father and I'm so
grateful to God that I was in your presence, you truly a gift from God, I
will never ever forget you or how you knew what it has been like for me
all this time.
Thank you so much for your blessing, I'm honored that you were there
for me. Godd bless you and all the wonderful work you do.
Thank you in God,"

"My Dear Fr. McAlear:
I want to thank Jesus and the Holy Spirit working through you for
bringing my daugher back to her faith. We attended a mass at ... a few
years ago ... At that time, my daughter had graduated college and was
dating men of the muslim faith for a number of years and not
attending mass. In fact, she would say I will be whatever religion
my husband is. I mentioned the healing mass to her each time I attended
and the incredible experience I had each time - resting in the Spirit - my
gentle conversations at dinner was when the Holy Spirit must have
began His work. The next time I mentioned I would be attending your
healing mass she said I want to go with you. Believe me, it was a complete
(shock) surprise. As soon as you approached her she received -
healing in the Spirit - she was so overwhelmed that she stopped
dating completely, joined a Bible study group, went to confession and
attended Sunday mass regularly. After two or three years went by she met a
catholic single man with a devout faith and he a year and a half
later took her to Medjugorge to propose to her and they were
eventually married. They returned to Medjugorge this year for their 2nd
anniversary and they are expecting their first child. I know through her
receipt of healing at your mass and your praying over her completely
changed her life. My daughter will never forget you nor will I. You have a
remarkable holy presence and have been given the magnificent gift of
healing, we thank God for blessing you and sending you to us."

"Our daughter was approx 14 weeks pregnant when an ultrasound
discovered a major problem.. the baby's bladder was blocked and VERY
distended.....a follow-up scan showed it to be a COMPLETE blockage and in
utero surgery would be needed and very SOON to protect the lungs and
kidneys! Since it was such a delicate procedure...an out of state hospital
was recommended , I asked Fr McAlear for prayer (via email) and he prayed
for her. A few days later an ultrasound showed the blockage was
completely gone and the baby "is fine!!" The doctors were amazed! My
daughter and her husband told the physicians that it was PRAYER! Our
family will be attending the Healing Mass tonight at... Fr McAlear
is being used by the Lord in a very powerful ministry. Please pray for
Father's health and safety in his travels."

"May God continue to bless you through your wonderful loving work so
that you may continue reaching those people in need. (like my daughter and
myself.)
My daughter who is 14 had been sexually assaulted 9 weeks ago. We were
having a very emotional time and home life was extremely hard, almost
unbearable. My daughter had gone from a very studious, loving, polite
teenager (yes they do exist) to an out of control, self harming and
very angry and confused person. It was killing me inside to see her like
this and trying to cope with our new life was destroying me (our whole
family). Nothing I did was working and I had run out of things to try,
people to turn to.... I was at my end.
A Blessing and Healing Mass, I had never heard of anything like this
before. My parish in ... was holding one and I felt we needed to attend.
The service was lovely and very claming. Then people began moving
forward for the blessings and healing. My daughter and I didn't know what
was happening or what we had to do. So we went up together, holding hands.
Father Mac took my daughter by the hands and she rested in Christ. He
then took my hands and I cried in the arms of a lady I didn't know until a
warmth so comforting went through my entire body and rested in my
chest. I breathed a deep satisfying sigh and returned to my seat
where I found my daughter looking rather glowing.
It has been a week now and our lives are fantastic again. She sings,
draws and gives the best cuddles. She says that all those feelings she had
are just gone, they left her body when the white light that tingled
through her sent them through the floor. And I am very clam and have
coped with all things in my busy life of raising twins and working full
time on my own.
Thank you, we are so at peace and our love for the Lord has grown."

"Last night I attended your healing mass and service at ... Quite
honestly I had no plan to attend but felt "pulled"-? called-? to come and
so I did.
I came with an open mind and heart but did not expect that I would
leave profoundly healed and changed!! WOW! is all I can say, I am still at
a loss to understand how I can be so different than I was yesterday.
When you placed your hand over mine and anointed my forehead with oil,
I felt that a lifetime of pain, heartache, trauma, anxiety and loss was
"pulled" from my body. The peace that I felt afterwards and the way that
I feel now is hard to put into words. Thank you as your healing
ministry is truly a blessing and this experience has come to me at exactly
in the time of my life when I needed it the most."

"Last year My Daughter and I took my granddaughter to your healing
mass. My granddaughter has Epilepsy. She was hesitant to go up to you, but
finally decided to do it. She talked to you and listened to what you said
about looking towards the light. She believed! Well, her recent EEG
showed no signs of Epilepsy. The doctor is going to start to decrease her
medicine and eventually she will get off of it. We are truly blessed.
Thank you for sharing your gift of faith, hope and love. The peace
we feel while attending your masses is overwhelming. We hope to see
you again soon. "

"Words cannot describe the peace and happiness I felt after your
services. My life changed in so many good ways. I had been on
anti-depressants for about two years and was in a very unsettling
marriage. I no longer take the anti-depressants and my marriage has also
improved. I truly felt the Lord's presence working through you."

"It is aways a blessing to be at your Mass. The gentle generous love of
God and His Holy Spirit speaks to us through your ministry... Thank you
for praying over us. We came away with lasting peace and joy and an
assurance Jesus had healed whatever we needed to be there for that
night.
It is more than twenty-five years ago that you prayed a few times ...
for our adopted son ... who then was about 11 years old. ... You told him
he would be a "great leader" some day. He is 37 now, married with
two children and a Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI Terrorism Squad
... We are always grateful to you for your prayers for him as his out of
control temper tantrums ceased afterwards. Today he too acknowledges
the impact your prayers had on him.
May the Lord of us all bless you with an abundance of His love in
all the ways you serve Him each day."

"In 2003 Kathy was healed of a systemic Strep B infection that
ultimately threatened her life. She worshiped the Lord with you at ... one
evening in .... She was seeing a specialist at this time and he had told
her that he didn't know what they were going to do for her or how
they were going to treat her, but they would do everything they could to
help her. Through the years of repeated infections she had become allergic
to almost all antibiotics so treatments for her were becoming more
difficult.
The day after the Healing Mass ..., Kathy went in for blood tests. When
the Doctor called with the results of the tests he was astounded. He
said,"Kathy, I don't understand this---You have absolutely no Strep B
in your system. It is as though someone laid hands on you."
Kathy has been Strep B free since that time."

"Dear Father, I attended a Healing Mass at the ... Chapel in April. I
had promised a friend that I would go. I was doubtful about what I had
heard at the Healing Mass. I brought my daughter who has Spina Bifida and
when we went up to receive your blessing I started to sob
uncontrollably. I looked in your eyes they were like two deep blue pools
of water. I stumbled and realized that something wonderful had happened to
me.
I thank you and Jesus for this feeling of peace and comfort. My
daughter also felt a warm feeling over her. I have always believed
in miracles and I pray that I have this feeling again. I did not expect a
cure for my child, but she felt peaceful for the first time in her life.
The feeling of peace stayed with us for several days. I pray that
will be able to attend another healing mass in the near future. Thank you
and may God Bless You."

"Between the months of February and March 2000, I had three medical
tests taken that my gynecologist had requested because of some symptoms I
had told him I was feeling. I took a Blood test, a Pelvic Sonogram and a
MRI of the pelvic. The sonogram and MRI showed I had a mass, tumors
and fibroids on my left ovary, which also showed cancer. The blood test
level showed cancer too. I did not doubt the cancer, since I had had the
start of cervical cancer in 1992 and had Cone Biopsy surgery to
remove it, and had been cancer free since that time. Although I had
resolved myself to the fact that after eight years the cancer reoccurred,
I was determined to fight it. My doctor said I would need surgery
immediately, but he also wanted me to have another MRI of the pelvic
and stomach to see if the cancer had spread from the ovary to any of my
organs. I was scheduled for that test on Friday morning ...
On Thursday, I attended a healing Mass in Brooklyn. As Father McAlear
stared into my eyes and anointed me, I suddenly felt a burning heat pass
through my entire body. I also felt an intense "tingling" going through
me. The tingling lasted approximately five minutes after I returned
to my seat. It ended as though it was trying to "rip" out of my body
through my fingertips. I had never experienced anything like that, and had
actually thought I may be having a heart attack, but minutes later I
mentally and physically felt much better.
Friday, the next morning, I went for my final MRI test. They told me
they would rush the report and have the results to my doctor on Monday.
When I walked into my doctor's waiting room, my doctor and his partner
were at the front desk. They said to me, "we have been looking at
your film and report and we are completely baffled." I asked them why.
My doctor looked at me and said, "it's a miracle." The other doctor
said, "only God could do this". I was shocked by their statements,
since science seems to conflict with religion. They then told me
there were absolutely no signs of cancer anywhere. Despite the fact that
both doctors had believed that something miraculous had occurred, they
said I had to take the test again. I did, and all tests how no signs
of cancer. Three tests showed I had cancer, and the same three tests
I took after I was anointed by Father McAlear, showed I had no cancer."

"Dear Fr. McAlear, My sister attended your healing service ... . She
told me all about it last evening. Our mother, who is 90 years old, is now
in Hospice Care having been in a nursing home for the past 7 years. Our
mother was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1973 at ... and she has
been praying for my sister since that time. The hospice nurse told us she
probably has 3 days, maybe a week or so to live.
Well, from the way my sister spoke, our mother's prayers were answered.
My sister called mom today to tell her what happened to her at the
healing service. My sister has never attended anything like that
ever. The smile on my mother's face - as my sister described what happened
to her at the service - was so amazingly beautiful. My mother was so happy
and just kept saying thank you my Jesus with all the strength she
had left. 33 years of prayer for her daughter to experience the love of
Jesus was answered. We heard about how her tears just flowed and flowed as
she felt the love, forgiveness and mercy of Jesus. I thought you
would like to know about this. Thank you for your vocation and ministry
and I hope to attend one of your healing services in ...."

"I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. The prayers of my family,
close friends and those in my faith community have pulled me through two
liver transplants and sepsis of the blood. My latest experience with
the power of prayer is truly amazing.
On ... I had barely finished dinner when I felt discomfort in my
abdomen. That was around 7 pm. The discomfort grew in waves of pain which
grew sharper by the minute. By 9:30 the pain was some the most intense I
have ever experienced. My wife, ..., drove me to the hospital. I
admitted at the emergency room where I was given a narcotic to ease
the pain. (My wife) ... and I learned that I had a bowel obstruction. Food
was backing up at the site of the obstruction and was cause pressure. The
pressure was the cause of the pain. If left untreated, the bowel can
burst and major infection can occur. Friday was spent in the x-ray room as
the medical tried to locate the obstruction. In half the cases the
obstruction clears itself. The other require surgery.
After the test, I was returned to my room. At that time I was visited
by my mother-in-law, ... and her neice, ... who was visiting us .... (She)
... told me her mom, ... and her friend, ... were planning to attend a
healing mass that evening and that they would offer up their healing
to help me. Later that evening, my bowel obstruction cleared on its own.
The pressure in my abdomen was gone and I felt like myself again. I live
near Seattle, Wa. The healing mass was in Florida. With the 3 hour
time difference, it turned I got well at the same time the mass was being
said. It could not be mere coincidence and there was no doubt that the
power of prayer was at work. Thanks be to God. And thank you Fr.
McAlear, ... and to all who prayed for my rapid recovery."

"I attended a Mass and Healing Service at Ave Maria University. After
Mass I went up to the altar. I had my head down in prayer. Father came to
me and lifted up my chin. At that very moment I saw the face of Jesus in
Father's eyes and a sense of such profound peace. It is an
experience I will never forget. I believe Jesus is truly working through
Father."

"I just wanted to send you this email to thank you for a wonderful
experience last evening at the healing mass. I have never felt anything so
powerful before. My mom felt the same way. We just wanted to thank you so
much. I had this warm sensation throughout my body for the whole
evening and still feel an overwhelming sense of "peace". Thank you again!
God Bless You!"

"Thank you so much for all your prayers and visit... wanted you to know
my eye surgry to remove tumors and put in grafts was a GREAT success. The
tumors were bigger than last time and should have had more
problems... NO...A week later I see better than in years. I pray for
you and the ministry God has given you....I am grateful and humbled by the
work you do in HIS name... THANK YOU!!!!"

"I have never known such peace and joy as since I first heard Father
Richard in 1998 in Brisbane."

"On September 28th I was told I had two lumps in my neck. I was sent
for a ultra sound which confirmed a large and a small tumor in the
thyroid. On October 10th I went for a needle biopsy. The results stated
there was a significant chance of follicular carcinoma. On October
22nd an operation was set up for November 5th.
That evening there was a healing Mass with Father McAlear. After
the Mass I went up to be blessed by Father McAlear. He asked me what
happened to my neck as it was black and blue from the biopsy. I told him
they thought I had cancer of the thyroid. Father McAlear said to me, "and
you're afraid aren't you?" He told me I would be okay and he looked
deep into my eyes and I felt that I was looking into the eyes of Jesus.
The next thing I remember I was laying on the floor and someone was
praying over me. I have never had such a feeling come over me as I
did that evening.
When I had my operation on November 5th the doctor said I was 80% free
of cancer and the final results would be in in 2 weeks. On November
20th the final results showed me to be cancer free. Our Lord saw fit to
bless me and I am so grateful."

"Do I believe in miracles and in healing? Sure I do. Through prayer,
the power of the Eucharist and people like Betty and Fr. (McAlear), the
Lord has brought much healing into my life, not so much physical but
spiritual, which to me is the one with greatest importance. Many
times I only became aware of this healing in retrospect, realizing that
old behaviors and attitudes were not controlling my life the way they used
to, and that my life was much more at peace and my heart had greater
desire to know and serve the Lord.
Betty and Fr. are very gifted with discernment, knowledge, wisdom,
healing, and most of all a true desire to serve the Lord through the
many people that come to them for prayers. I pray that many will come in
true faith and with great expectations to experience the love of God.

"When you held up the Eucharist and the Chalice, I knew, I experienced
Jesus, fully present! I have not wanted to come back to the Catholic
Church. I don't like being around most Catholics. It's our Protestant
brothers and sisters who have been a source of such love and comfort
and compassion for me in these last three years. I have experienced The
Holy Spirit moving in the Sunday Services, and in my life as never before.
Why would I want to return to the Catholic Church. Well, guess what?
I don't have a choice!
After your Masses, and meeting Jesus in the Eucharist, I know He is
requiring me to stay. Nothing matters except the Eucharist! I get
it! It's essential. It's central. Everything else in our lives is meant to
revolve around the Eucharist. So, onward and upward!
Thank you for answering your call to the Priesthood. Thank you for the
life you live, that is making it possible for people like me to know
Jesus in the Eucharist. May the Risen Christ Bless and restore you, and
may His Angels guard you day and night. "

"Dear Father McAlear, I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how
much attending your Healing Liturgies and Healing Retreat have meant to
me. Mere words are inadequate to describe this truly wonderful
experience for me. I am sure that I have not yet even begun to
realize all of the positive effects this week has had on me, but I already
feel that this has been life altering. I feel as though all of my
emotional pain, burdens, guilt, and sins of the past, as well as
fear and anxiety have been released and these absolutely wonderful
feelings of peace and love have replaced them. This has truly strengthened
my faith. I truly felt Jesus' presence during the blessings and I have
felt God's mercy and love throughout this experience. I feel very
blessed and am incredibly thankful. "

"When he (Fr. McAlear) was in Killarney, Co. Kerry he met a young man
who was very seriously ill, not really doing well with medical treatment
and death was a possibility. The family got great comfort from meeting
Fr. Mac and were so much more resigned.
Today the man is able to lead a fairly normal life and seems to be in
remission. His quality of life is excellent and he is fully involved in
his farm again. He uses crutches to get around due to a weak arm and leg
but he is alive. The family would love Fr. Mac to know all of this"

"Fr. McAlear, I wanted to say thanks for the help at your healing
service I was the man who told you that you had helped me 15 years ago I
first saw you when I was diagnosed with lymphoma - and have been chugging
along ever since with no symptoms."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"while listening to your talk about forgiveness, I realized that God
was speaking to me, and showed me that was what was missing. I have since
been truly able to forgive and let go, and trust in God's will for meThis
truly was a turning point in my life, and I know it's the beginning
of the healing I've waited so long for, and the miracle I've prayed for!"

"Two and a half years ago my fiancé was diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer. He had surgery and was doing well until October when we learned
the cancer had returned and was now in his liver. We attended your
service with friends in the hopes it would help Louis. He is still
doing well despite the fact the Doctors told us he would not be here for
the holidays.
I did not however expect what happened to me after receiving your
blessing. Last December I lost my father to cancer and was the
caregiver for both Louis and my father. My mother took my father's death
very hard and also has health issues with her eye and depends on me to run
her errands. Needless to say I have been somewhat stressed over the
past 2-1/2 years. When I was at the alter waiting for your blessing I
started thinking about my father and the emotions were building up inside
of me. At the moment you stood next to me the organist started
singing Be Not Afraid which is the hymn that was sung at my father's
funeral. I felt as though my father was there with me and was so overcome
with emotion I couldn't even speak to you. I closed my eyes and
remember falling back and laying on the floor of the church feeling
a sense of peace that I had never felt. When I returned to my seat
everyone was asking me what happened. My fiancé said my face was glowing.
I laughed because my skin had been very dry and broken out from our
recent cold weather. However, when I looked in the mirror I was somewhat
shocked to see that my face was completely cleared up and the skin where
you touched my face was very soft.
Since that evening my attitude has completely changed and I know that I
will be able to handle whatever the future brings. When I begin feeling
a little overwhelmed I remember the words you quoted from The
Blessed Mother......."Why are you anxious?" I know that I am not alone and
my prayers will be heard."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Father, I went to the healing mass... Thank you for blessing me
and helping me through a difficult week. My sister ... passed away on
December 23 of cancer. I truely believed that your healing mass helped
myself and her family to let her go and be with Jesus, Thank you and
God Bless you."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Thank you is the only thing I can think to say to you. I came to your
healing service reluctant and a little afraid and I went away with a
feeling inside that I can't explain! I feel very calm and peaceful within.
I haven't felt that in 3 years! I'm returning tonight and bringing
my sister. Last night I came to you a little fearful-- tonight I came
rejoiceful and anxious to feel Jesus presence through you. I thank our
Lord for blessing you with his healing powers."

"When a friend asked me to go to one of Fr. McAlear’s Healing Masses, I
had no idea of the profound effect it would have on my life. I didn’t
really know what to expect, but I did know that I was in need of
healing, as I had been going through a very difficult time in my life.
At the Mass, I was in tears just listening to Father’s Homily. When it
became time for me to go up for a blessing, I felt very vulnerable
emotionally and I was also nervous because I didn’t know what I was
supposed to say or do when I got up there.
I don’t know how to explain it, but when I looked up into Fr. McAlear’s
eyes, I was looking into Jesus’ eyes! And Jesus was looking into my
eyes—straight down into my heart and soul. Unfortunately, I think a
combination of shock over this and my personal feeling of unworthiness
caused me to pull away. As I sat at my seat in tears, I felt such
regret for having shut down. I knew that I had encountered God at that
moment and I felt an incredible pull to encounter Him again.
So, I attended Fr. McAlear’s Day of Teaching the next day and received
another blessing at the end of that day, with more tears and with one of
Father’s helpers comforting me and telling me that she knew that I was “a
good soul” (exactly what I needed to hear at that point in my life)
and I left with an even stronger pull to return.
So, I went to another of Fr. McAlear’s Healing Masses two days later.
This time when I went up for a blessing, I felt the strongest physical
presence of Jesus right there and I opened my heart to Him. When Fr.
McAlear gave me a blessing, I physically felt the Holy Spirit enter
my body. It felt like this rush of heat flowing through my body and the
next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor Resting in the Spirit. It
felt like the heat was cleansing or purging all of my anxiety, fears,
emotional pain, heartache, guilt, and feelings of unworthiness to
heal me emotionally and spiritually. It was like everything negative from
my whole life was being purged from me through my tears. I heard a
beautiful comforting voice speaking in another language (which I
later found out was one of Father’s helpers praying over me in tongues).
When I got up, all I felt was the most awesome feeling of complete and
absolute peace and love, unlike anything that I had ever felt
before. And I knew at that moment, beyond any doubt, that there
really was a God and that He actually really loved me! And I am so very
thankful for His love and for His awesome gift of allowing me to feel His
presence, His love, His mercy, and His healing touch through Fr.
McAlear's ministry. My life will never be the same. "

"I was so excited after the healing mass I drove home and brought my
husband back before the mass ended. At that time he had recently been
diagnosed with HepC. Since then he has no signs of the virus in his system
which has the doctors baffled. He remains on a regiment of
medications as precautionary measure for another 4 months. I am grateful
that the Lord has chose to work miracles through you."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Father,
Thank you for answering your priestly call. You and all priests are
such a gift to the church! I praise God for priests like you!
I went to your mass tonight and I want to thank you (and give God the
glory) for how you handled my little girl. ...(She) is a very sensitive
little girl and tonight, when she saw all the people falling in the
Spirit it really did frighten her. So, I had the bright idea to tell
her that it was the Holy Spirit *kissing them to try to make her less
afraid of it. I don't think it worked.
But then, there you were showering her with blessings and KISSES!! You
made her so happy! You really represented the Holy Spirit to her and she
understood that!
Once again I am touched by the tender heart of God who reaches for his
little children. I LOVE God so much. *I was so blessed! God bless you and
I will always pray for you from now on!"

"I would like to Thank God and Fr McAlear for the prayers for My Mother
and the healings she received. Jan 2006 she had surprise heart surgery.
Mom had surgery and was transferred out of the CCU unit in 1 day. She had
no pain from the surgery and was ready to go home she thought. In 4
days she was sent to rehab and continued to heal. Everyone says how
wonderful Mom looks and how great she is doing after her surgery. May 2006
she had an emergency hysterectomy and healed wonderfully from the
surgery. Mom had radiation in 2006 as a precaution and is cancer free
thanks to the prayers and love we received during the difficult times. .
All the doctors were amazed how well mom did after the surgeries. All we
could say is it is Gods grace. She really glows with Gods love.
Our Doctor even said Mom is a miracle and he has his hand on her. He
knows God has brought her through all these things because of Fr.McAlears
prayers and Gods grace and love.
I want to Thank God for all his blessings and graces he gives us each
day.
Fr.McAlear is a great gift from God and we are very blessed to have him
in our lives. "

"My husband, John, and I were married on May 1, 1999 and we began trying for a family right away. John’s father, …, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and we desperately wanted him to meet his first grandchild. By May of 2000 and no pregnancy, we visited a fertility specialist and began undergoing many painful tests to find out why I wasn’t getting pregnant. Meanwhile, we continued our prayers for a healthy baby, and for Dad’s healing. By 2002, I was falling into deep depression, and I was desperate for a child. We were blessed by Father … at … to pursue fertility treatments that still allowed us to conceive the baby naturally, meaning no In Vitro Fertilization. We began fertility treatments in April of 2002. During this time, my father-in-law was still battling his cancer, but he was entering the final phases of his fight. Over the next 6 months I underwent treatments of Clomid with artificial insemination and HCG trigger shots to maximize our chances at conceiving. It was painful and emotionally draining. We had 5 failed cycles of treatment, and gave it one last attempt in September of 2002. Because of the physical and emotional toll it was taking on both of us, we decided we could not go any further if our last cycle failed. On September 20 of that year we discovered that our cycle had failed again. We were told that it would be impossible for me to conceive a baby on my own without In Vitro Fertilization. We walked out of the fertility clinic bruised, battered, and utterly broken. Around the same time that fall, we discovered that my father-in-law had multiple lesions on his brain and there was nothing more they could do for him. They gave him 8-12 weeks at the most, and much of that he would no longer be himself. I was having a major crisis of faith, and thought of walking away from the church, when my father-in-law invited us to a healing mass at … that you were presiding over. I agreed only because he jokingly said that I had to go with him because it was his dying wish. We were extremely close, he was more a father to me than my own biological father, so it was killing me inside that this dear man of such strong faith in Jesus was dying such a painful death. At the healing mass on October 9, 2002, we sat near the front, and when the blessings began, people were falling to the ground after being blessed. I remember being so irritated because I only saw this stuff on TV. Dad was trying to explain to me about the power of the Holy Spirit and the power of faith. He asked me to go up and get a blessing, and I refused. I told him that I did not believe in this stuff, that this kind of stuff was for crazy people. I also told him that I would only believe if I saw him healed of his cancer that night. I was just in such a low place at that time, I remember just being so angry. Again, he told me that it was his dying wish to see me get a blessing from you. I very reluctantly went up and received my blessing. I walked away and sat down feeling…..nothing. Half of me expected to see this bright light and feel all warm and tingly inside. I felt nothing, which made me even more angry and doubtful. We left mass that night, and I didn’t give it another thought. The only thing on my mind was how we were going to get on without Dad.
A few weeks had gone by, and John and I had plans to meet up with my family in …. We abruptly cancelled our plans because of the DC sniper attacks that were happening. We were too nervous. We took vacation time from work anyway and just stayed home and did updates around our house. I remember this day as if it was yesterday. John was outside washing the car and I was in the upstairs bathroom cleaning. I felt this sudden wave of dizziness and nausea. I had never felt like that before. I thought that maybe my body was still adjusting from not being on fertility medicines, but the nausea just wouldn’t go away. I realized I missed my cycle. I had an extra pregnancy test from my time of trying to conceive, so I took one. I still get a lump in my throat to this day when I think about looking down at that test and seeing two blue lines. I thought I made a mistake and took another one, it came back positive again. I was stunned. I told John immediately, and he wouldn’t believe it either. We went to the doctor that afternoon and it was confirmed, I was having a baby. The day was October 29, 2002, almost exactly 3 weeks to the day that I received my blessing from you. We were able to share the news with my father-in-law, and he was able to give us blessing before he started losing his memories and his functions. He passed away on January 2, 2003, and we welcomed our first born son, …, on July 3, 2003. When our son was 10 months old, we discovered we were pregnant again. When our second son, …, was 11 months old, we found out we were pregnant with our daughter, …. After welcoming our third child in three years, my husband wanted to visit you again to see if you could remove the hex you put on us. I wish you could hear my sarcasm. It’s hard when you are reading text. We love to laugh about it! We are now a family of six, we welcomed a second daughter, …, in March of 2011. We would be so honored to introduce to our beautiful gifts from God, our gifts that God Blessed us with through your hands."

"Dear Fr. Mac,
On April 26, 2014 I attended a healing Mass at St. Cecelia in Clearwater, Fla. It had been many years since I had attended a true Healing Mass. I came because I so enjoyed praising the Holy Spirit. My husband had attended one of your Masses
and was excited to celebrate Mass together. When we went up, I rested in the Spirit. When I was resting, I felt extreme pain in my upper back,between my waist and my wings. I came not looking for any healing, but I had a problem with standing
and walking for several years with no particular source. I was losing my ability to keep my balance and began using a cane. I had been to my doctor and had several tests, but nothing seemed to show what was wrong. He thought I might have
had a small stroke. Nothing is necessary now, thanks be to God. I wish to thank God for a healing that night as I no longer have any problem with my legs or my back. I am able to walk and stand on my own. My husband, ... and I, ... would like to thank you for following your calling from the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to use you as His instrument to bring forth His Love. God Bless You and your ministry."

"Rev. Richard McAlear
It is 9:38PM in ... and I just finished writing in my
Journal what you did for me on the healing conference last week. I
will never be the same thanks to you. I live with my disabled adult son
and am his caregiver as he has many medical problems and I am getting up
in age. Three years ago my husband left (betrayal ) after 40 years
of marriage he just walked out and never came back. He provides for us by
paying for the house and expenses the rest I cover with my pension. Three
years ago I poured my heart out to his friends and anyone that would
listen - I wanted to reserve his seat in hell. I have lived with
depression, fear and anxiety for three years. I do not take medication in
fact when it was offered to me by a Doctor I asked him if they will ever
make a pill that is called "reality bites" he did not like my
response - I thought it was pretty good. I just pray!!
After buying all your books and having read them I am free of pain and I know
the depression will also start going away. I followed your advice to the
letter and YOU ARE SPECIAL - God sent you here for many of us. I
was unable to finish the mass because of my son - if it had been up
to me I would have spent the night on the floor listening to you talk and
pray.
The next time you are in ... I want you to stay with us
- I am a very good cook and will love having you in my house "Mi
Casa es Su Casa" - God take good care of you for us. I pray for your
health and safety everyday.
By the way I am having everyone I can
think of buy your books. God Bless YOU"

"I didn't know what to expect as I have never been to a healing
blessing before. When I entered the church a had a wounderful feeling of
love. As the service contuined my heart felt full of a love I never felt
before. As I continued to watch and hear you speak I have never felt
such peace in my soul before. When I came to you I felt this love pouring
through my soul and I felt God and our Lord Jesus Christ telling me I was
going to be ok and that he loved me and I asked for forgiveness for
all the mistakes I have made in my life. I looked into your eyes and at
that momement I knew I was forgiven and that Jesus loved me.
I asked Jesus if he could heal me from what I have been dealing with
health wise. I don't think I have ever cried so much in my life when you
blessed me. My whoe body was shaking. Now to tell you about my health
problems I had to resign from work because of my health. I have had
a heart attack,my lungs stayed in an a asmatic state which required me to
have to stay on oxygen around the clock. I was taking breathing
treatments around the clock. I was taking steroids around the the
clock which was causing me to swell about three times my size but I had to
take them just to breath. I couldn't walk I was always out of breath I was
always getting pneumonia in my lungs. I wasn't living I was just
existing.
After I went to ... for my first healing I am off of oxygen around the
clock I only take it when needed and that isn't very often. I am only
taking steriods once a day. I can walk 21/2 miles a day. My heart is
strong and I am living now not just existing. I have been to four
more healing blessings I have not missed one for the last four
years.
I feel stronger and more at peace with myself from your blessings. I
also wanted to THANK YOU
My son ... was having a hard time with his life getting into some minor
trouble with the law I prayed everytime I came to your healings and I
brought him to your last trip to ... and he to received a blessing from
you. I am happy to say he has gone back to college and he has
straightened up his life. He to believes in your blessings and I love the
way you eyes change whenn you bless us it's like looking into the eyes of
Jesus. We can;t wait until you come back to ... Thank You from the
bottom of my heart and for the MIRACLES you have given me."

"Dear Father McAlear:
I attended a healing mass at ...on November 5. While waiting to come up
front, my sinuses started to ache in my left cheek, a familiar sign that I
was in danger of developing a full-blown infection. But instead of
leaving for home (I believe the demons always want you to give up
and quit), I decided I should at least get a blessing, so I stuck it out.
Guess what? I’ve been taking two Mucinex every morning and evening for the
past several months for sinuses, but since approximately 3:30 PM on
November 5, I haven’t had anymore problems. Instead of my head feeling
congested, I’ve got a slightly runny nose, that’s all. Not that I’m
thinking any more clearly, but God definitely unblocked something in
my head! And if I do get the slightest twinge, I rebuke my sinuses—“in the
name of Jesus, by whose stripes I was healed”--and I reclaim my healing,
citing the new day and time. Thank you, Abba, Father, and God bless
you, Fr. McAlear."

enough to go. I had justed asked my husband for a divorce and asked to

Retreat with you last weekend in ... California. I want to express my deep

back pain, and for the gift of healing that you gave me and my
sister-in-law, who is in remission for breast cancer. She left the retreat
feeling the most at peace she has felt since being diagnosed five years
ago. I for one am feeling more closeness and certainty in God than I
have in many, many years. I can see it in the reactions of my young
children and my husband that the gray cloud that has been surrounding me
is lifted, and they are so happy to have their 'real' mother and wife
back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are a blessing beyond
words. With sincere gratitude,"

"I would have never guessed this would happen to me, but on June 6,
2011, I attended a Healing Mass conducted by Father McAlear, with my
husband. In retrospect, I now realize that God had planned this for me
about 4 weeks in advance when I unexpectedly ran into an old friend
that I had taught with 21 years earlier, in 1990. As we were
catching up with eachother about our lives and families, she shared the
story of her own healing at one of Fr. McAlear's Healing Masses.
Coincidentally and surprisingly, she told me that several local Healing
Masses with Father were scheduled just a few weeks from then. Now,
I've been a Christian my whole life, but the only healings I knew of were
the "staged" ones done by TV Evangelists that us kids used to joke about.
Although I wasn't sure what to think, I trusted my friend and I had
a strong feeling, almost an urgency, to attend one of the Masses.
When my husband and I arrived at the church and saw Fr. McAlear, I
instantly felt the presence of Jesus Christ our Lord. It wasn't far into
the Mass, just after receiving the Sacraments, when I started to cry,
feeling as though Father was speaking directly to me and my
tribulations. As I began to cry harder, a helper of Father's came to
me, sat with me, and laid his hands on my cheeks while he softly chanted
something that sounded like a Hebrew prayer to me. I felt a warmth flow
through my body as he continued His work on me, and I began to relax
and feel a sense of peace that I've never felt before and that I can't
begin to explain. Time stood still and I was with Jesus.
As the Mass continued, I waited for Fr. McAlear to bless me, and I knew
that my life was being changed right then and there by Jesus Christ,
working through the eyes, hands, and words of Fr.McAlear. When Father
came to my husband and I and took our hands, I was crying pretty
hard but I was able to tell him that I needed "everything healed,"
including my body (chronic back pain for 9 yrs, worsening depression,
liver and kidney disease, Epstein Barr disease) and marriage (19 yrs
of marriage that was falling apart, with 2 beautiful children,
unemployment for 2+ years, financial crisis). As Father blessed me and
rubbed the oil on my forehead, I saw and felt Jesus Christ through him.
Although I had been determined not to fall over backwards, I had no
control- I had allowed Jesus to do what He knew I needed. I left
Mass feeling at peace, refreshed in my relationship with God, and feeling
hopeful that everything was going to be alright.
I didn't immediately know that I had been healed, but just 2 days
later, I noticed that I was pain-free, my body was healed, my marriage was
healing, my depression was gone, my worries were lifted, and my life was
full of Jesus' abiding love.
Because of Jesus Healing me through the presence of Father McAlear, I
know that no matter what may come, I will walk all the rest of my days
knowing that Jesus Christ our Lord is right here with me, that He has felt
what I am feeling, and that He is listening to me, loving me,
forgiving me, and bringing me closer to Him all the time. I pray that
everyone, everywhere can someday be healed by Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Savior. Thank you, Father McAlear for your ministry of healing and
love. "

"Hi Fr. McAlear My husband and I attended the retreat day in ... this
past saturday and loved it. I was really really really touched by the
Lord. In fact, our Loving savior and friend Jesus came right down from
heaven and looked me in the eyes. I recognized Him and he showed me
His heart. I have 8 children, 7 living, and if I mulitiply the
infinite amount of love I have for each of them and then multiply that by
millions I might come close to the Love I saw in the heart of Jesus when
He looked at me through you. It was really so beautiful. I actually
have felt sad ever since - a little bereft. Tears come for no reason at
all - I need to see Him More!! I thank you most sincerely and humbly for
allowing God to use you."

"Dearest Father, Thank you so much for blessing me twice in ... I'm the
bald crying one with the lung cancer and I do feel a greater sense of
peace and courage. I am coming to your healing mass at ... on Monday
and am working very hard at accepting my healing. Bless you Father for
being a vessel of the Holy Spirit and allowing him to work through you to
heal so many who are afraid and broken. Please continue to keep me in
prayer."

they came away blessed just like the hundreds who also attended. Father

"Hi Father!
I just wanted to let you know that we're very appreciative of your
love, healing powers and service. I'm not sure how often you get to hear
of the results of your work in the field but it occurred to me, after
bringing my son to you two years ago and again the other night, that
you might enjoy hearing our story. So I wrote a brief post on my blog (see
below). "
"Healing Mass
I was just searching this blog for my last healing mass story and can't
find it. Maybe I never wrote it? Maybe I didn't look hard enough? Maybe it
went the way of other disappearing posts?
In short, we took Son #1 to the pediatric neurology clinic at the
University of Rochester Medical Center one afternoon a couple of years
ago. His Tourette's seemed to be progressing at a rapid pace and our
pediatrician recommended a visit.
His symptoms started so slowly, we didn't quite notice for years. If it
wasn't for my girlfriend ... sharing her daughter's story, and us
beginning to put the pieces together, I'm not sure when it would have
dawned on us. A weekend of eye blinks. (Eye drops.) An ongoing dry
hack. (Allergies. Buy hypoallergenic pillows.) Expectorating. (Yuck! Will
you stop that? You're grossing us out.)
Long story short, the day we were in the clinic, he described all of
his symptoms to the doctor. And he was off charts behaviorally. Beeping.
Snorting. Foot kicks. Hand gestures. Coughing. You name it. The list went
on and on. He said that he tries to suppress his ticks in school but
they come on full-bore at night when he allows them to. She asked how he
knew when a tick was coming on and he likened it to a sneeze: you just
know. We were then asked if we wanted to put him on meds but he, and
we, declined. Until (or unless) it was bothering him socially, why have a
nine year old boy ingest a toxin?
The next night my sister and I took Son #1 to a healing mass at a local
Catholic church. After the service, the visiting priest, Father McAlear
(who looks a bit like Sean Connery complete with sparkly eyes), laid
his healing hands on our heads and said a prayer. Guess what: the entire
crazy spectrum of symptoms gone. Completely gone -- for maybe six or nine
months at which point they came creeping back but, to this day, have
never been as bad as they were a few years ago.
Flash forward to Tuesday night this week. My girlfriends ... were
headed to ... in the next town over for another healing mass. Same priest.
This year, he was touching people and they were fainting. Literally
fainting. It was surreal.
He came to Son #1, chatted for a minute, prayed over him and then said
to him, "Do you know what you have to do now?" Son #1 replied, "No, what?"
and he responded, "Get a haircut."
Yes Grannie, you have an ally in the Catholic church. "
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"I just want to take a minute to relate my own healing experience.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with AML Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I was
living on transfusions, trying different meds and treatments but was
finally told by four doctors that nothing was working and that I had 2
to 4 months to live.
So I came here to St. John's - Barbara talked to me and agreed to help
me write up my Funeral - which is still on file (that's the good part) and
promised her prayers and those of the parish.
Fr. McAlear was in town that same week so I was glad to go for his
blessing as well. You could say I was in dire straights!
After telling him of my approaching death he took extended time with me
in prayer and then said something like, "I don't think it's going to be
that way. Have hope." Those words definitely got my attention and
seemed to give me a glimmer of hope. Ann - one of his helpers then came
and sat with me and gave me some reassurance.
So interestingly enough at my next appointment at Strong one other
doctor stepped forward and said that he would be willing to try a bone
marrow transplant if my sister who was with me was a match as there was no
time to wait. They tested her and she was a perfect match which is
pretty rare.
So the journey began with chemo, radiation and all and then this Parish
stepped in with frequent hospital visits, communions, good jokes from Fr.
Mike, Barbara and Tom along with the prayers of the Parish, my family
and friends.
So because of the workings of the Holy Spirit I am cancer free, very
grateful and EVERY DAY IS A GIFT."

"I sent a request last week and within HOURS felt the peace that can
only come from God, it was amazing. Your ministry is truly annointed. I
thank God for it, even as I myself struggle with Catholicism and
forgiveness.
Again, thank you for your faithfulness and may the good Lord continue
to bless you and your ministry abundantly in Jesus' Most Precious and Holy
Name."

"I sent a prayer request last month on behalf of my 15 year old
daughter ... who suffers from bipolar disorder and she improved greatly
within 24 hours of receiving a response. I told her about this beautiful
intercession and she was so grateful and amazed."

"On the 1st week of October 2009 I attended a Healing and Spiritual
Seminar with Fr. Richard McAlear at ... I had a terrible smoking habit for
50 years and tried many times to quit, with no success. On Saturday
October 4, 2009, we had a special healing Mass and all weekend I
asked God to remove my bad habit and surrendered every thing in my
control of smoking to God. After the Mass, Father had a special anointing
for those who cared to go up and receive it. My friend and I witnessed
several people falling back as they were anointed; I have only seen
this happen on TV and thought it to be part of a show ordeal. I asked my
friend if we should go up and get anointed, and she replied to me that she
was also kind of scared, and I said, “Don’t worry, that won’t happen
to us”! So, we went up almost when everyone was done. My friend was first
to be anointed and I saw her fall back and before I could say anything
Father anointed me and I fell back, also. All I can say I remember
[was] that while I was laying down I had my eyes half open but only saw
white and nothing else; I felt tears streaming down my cheeks and could
hear organ music that was being played in the church. I am not sure
how long I laid there, but can only say that it was the most
peaceful feeling I have ever experienced. As I started to sit up, still
not seeing anything, I started to cry; that’s when I heard someone say to
me, “That’s right! Go ahead and cry and wash all the impurities out
of your body.” That’s when I started to sob uncontrollably; again,
how long? I have no idea! When I stood up my friend was just starting to
get up also; we hugged each other and went to sit down crying and
wondering what had just happened!??
As I got into my car, I reached for my pack of cigarettes that laid on
the seat, opened the box, took out my lighter and noticed only one
cigarette left. I looked at it, put the lighter back in the box, closed
the lid and put it in the glove compartment. From that day forward
until now, Jan 2011, I have not had even a desire for a cigarette! Now, I
also have to tell you that my husband still smokes as do some other folks
that I know. Not even once have I had a desire or thought that I
want to smoke. What a Miracle.
I praise the Lord daily for removing the obsession. I know that it’s
only through His grace that I was cured.
Praise Lord, Jesus Christ
Thank you"

"Dear Father McAlear,
I am writing to thank you for the blessing you gave to my 4 year old
daughter ... My family and I brought (her) to one of your healing masses
... in Western Mass. We were in the front pew. (She) was the first person
you blessed right from her seat. She had a tumor in her head on the
right side pressing on her brain and it had come through her ear canal.
You put holy oil on her head in front of her ear, and then again on her
forehead and placed a blessing on her. (She) has been receiving
chemotherapy for only 5 weeks now and she had an MRI scan last
Tuesday to see if the tumor was responding to the treatments. Well, the
tumor is no longer present. There is no sign of it anywhere in her head
and her ear has regenerated skin and has healed to complete
resolution. We are overjoyed at this news and believe whole hearted
that the holy spirit had a major part in this healing process. We will
continue the chemotherapy, however, the amount of chemotherapy drugs will
be reduced we do not need to go every Monday as we have been. Now,
we will go every three weeks and should be completely done by spring. God
Bless you father McAlear for allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you
in order to heal. We are so blessed to have found you and to have
been able to bring our baby girl to you. You will remain in our thoughts
and prayers always!"

"Dear Fr. McAlear,
On October 20, 2010, I attended one of your healing masses in ... What
I felt was undescribable, yet when asked about it, the Holy Spirit
illuminates from my eyes, mouth, and heart. People around me are touched
and want to come back with me to experience the power and peace I
received. I know this was a calling from God because the following day I
was given bad news about my niece ... She is 4 years old and has been
diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her head which is pressing on her
brain.
My family and I will be attending your service on November 9th. We will
be bringing ... and will be asking for your blessing on this child. In the
mean time please keep her in your prayers. I look forward to experiencing
the Holy Spirit once again. Thank you Fr. McAlear."

"Dear Father McAlear
I attended one of your healing Masses last year in ... At the time I
did not feel that I needed healing. I had read the testimonials and wanted
to attend the Mass to see “faith,” to know that God is here on earth. I
did go up for a blessing, I remember you asking me a question about
why I came, and I gave a “nervous” answer something like to see you. If
you do remember this I hope you do not think I was being disrespectful.
Recently, I attended your healing Mass in ... I did need healing in my
soul. I have been struggling with sadness, “forgiveness,” and guilt.
I went to visit a local priest weeks before the Mass. He counseled me,
said a pray with me and noticed that I brought a book with me. He asked me
if I liked to read. I said yes, he gave me a book to read in hopes that it
might help me. The book was your book on “Forgiveness.” As I read
the book each page seemed to be written for me. I read your book and
immediately tried to implement the teaching and right away I felt better.
I made the decision right then to drive out to your next healing
Mass which was in ... It would be a 2 hour drive.
The night before the Mass, I went to bed almost like a child the night
before Christmas. Knowing that Jesus working thru you would help me. I was
not certain of the results, how I would feel leaving the Mass, but I knew
that Jesus would be present and things would be OK.
Right before the blessing part of the Mass, thoughts went thru my mind
about not being worthy to receive help. I was losing courage to be
blessed. Just then, I remembered your words during the Mass of
encouragement. I did go up to be blessed.
I don’t remember much of the blessing. I do remember crying, and I was
ashamed to look at you. You gently grabbed my hand and then my chin to
look you in the eyes. Making I eye contact with you, helped. Someone
else mentioned in a testimonial about looking into your eyes and
seeing Jesus’. I don’t know if that happened but I do know that looking at
you gave a feeling of peace to me. You told me to “exhale” and let go. I
left thru a back door in tears.
As I drove home, my hand which you had touched burned. I can not
explain it. I have no scars but the entire ride home (2 hours) the top of
my hand tingled. On the ride home, I felt I don’t know how to explain it
but a calmness. The feelings I had struggled with have gone. I fell
healed and blessed.
I thank God for blessing your priesthood. Thank you for your help. In
addition to a healing I have also strengthened my relationship with
God."

"It was a very healing experience to be present at last Thursday's
Healing Mass with Fr. Richard. Even before the laying on of hands and
anointing of the sick, Father's teaching on the love of God was, in
itself, a healing experience. It has led me to since search out
scriptures on God's love, as for years I had been researching all
the scriptures I could find in the Bible on healing, but I forgot to seek
first the divine love source that makes all healing possible, the very
love of God behind each love-touch commended in a healing!
Too many of us have been carrying the burden of 'works' mentality, in
trying to work out our salvations and even our healings by our own power,
rather than simply receive, by love, the gift of God. We thought if
we studied hard enough, prayed long enough, and somehow tried to
force our faith higher, we might somehow 'qualify' if we were good enough.
Just now, in listening to the second teaching on Father's web site, I
clearly heard Father Richard say, "Jesus didn't give us a formula
for healing." I can't tell you what a confirmation that is for me, as for
years I have been trying by my own works to just figure out the formula, I
have even used that very phrase in prayer, "Just tell me the
formula, Lord..." when the whole time what I needed was to be reconciled
to God's love, mercy, and goodness, and just receive it as a gift.
I was missing the mark by falling short of comprehending God's love!!
Therefore, I had difficulty receiving due to a sense of low self worth,
guilt, and shame for imperfections. Today I am comforted in being
reminded, had we been so perfect to begin with, we wouldn't have
needed healings or even for Jesus to have come as our savior. What I
needed most was to reconcile myself with the Love of God, the very one who
IS love, and simply receive this revelation. And That is my healing
testimony after 30 years of being a Christian. Since last Thursday, I have
begun to receive the revelation of God's love.
We can't give away what we don't have to give. My healing testimony is
that I went to the Healing Mass in hopes of obtaining a physical healing,
but what really needed foundational healing was my sin sick SOUL which
was missing the mark the whole time by trying to 'work' to be worthy
of receiving a healing miracle. I knew as I was sitting listening to the
homily that a very important message was being preached, but I didn't know
until it soaked in with each passing day just how everything hinges
on the Love of God, everything... not just healing miracles but, all that
God is, and all that is good. Now, I am prospering even as my soul
prospers with this revelation.
Some people may wonder, how could someone be a Christian for decades
and somehow not have fully received or understood the essence of the width
and depth of God's love? The impartation of the Love demonstrated
was such a healing gift in itself that what I'm trying to say is, Father
carried and ministered love so profoundly that it literally changed my
life. Reading about it is one thing, imagining it, another. But to
have God's love so profoundly demonstrated in one of His servants
was of life-changing impact. A person can for years intellectually know
the scripture that says, "God is love" -- but to have it ministered and
actually receive an impartation of that love is an all-together
different experience and level of knowing.
I look forward to seeing Father Richard again the next time he comes
through the local area. I read one scripture today on love in the Bible
that strongly rings clear of Father's willingness to minister in such a
spirit of love and compassion, God's healing on all levels, and I
quote it here knowing all who have met him in person will know that the
Grace of God exudes off this man, tangibly, and leaves us hungering for
more of the very source of that demonstration, the Love of God
through our Lord, Jesus Christ, so I leave you with this scripture:
"For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love
which you have shown for His name's sake in ministering to the needs of
the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do." (Hebrews
6:10)
With that, I thank you, Father. ..."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Fr, Thank you so very much for being an instrument of God's love.
I was BLESSED on Saturday when you prayed over me. I felt strong and happy
and loved. It really felt as though the love of God was upon me and
your beautiful smile felt as though it was the smile of Jesus.
Praise to God for his blessings and praise God for your faithfulness."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Father Richard,
I attended your mass of healing at ... Catholic Church on .... I was
brought up Catholic but have never had a strong faith, though I've tried
harder since marrying my wife 6 years ago.
The point I'm finally getting to, is that when I went up to receive a
blessing from you for my hayfever and not to hate anymore your eyes were
so joyful. I hope this isn't out of line, or stupid, but at that very
moment I swear I saw God in your eyes. There was this expression of
such vibrant joy in your eyes that I have never seen in anyone before and
I felt that joy physically touch me.
So I wanted to say thank you and to ask for your continued prayers. I
particularly ask that you please pray for my wife and I to be able to have
children.
Father Richard, thank you. I feel happier, I feel a better person for
having met you.
I have never written these words before, but God bless you Father.
Many thanks,"

"I recently attended two healing Masses and a retreat with Fr. McAlear.
I went to the first healing Mass filled with expectations that "this was
it"--I was going to be instantly healed of my problems, which include
physical pain and weakness which has been increasing alarmingly, as
well as emotional heartache and anxiety. All around me, people were
weeping, slain in the spirit, or otherwise obviously deeply affected by
their experience. Everyone but me, or so I thought. I was
disappointed but determined to go to a retreat and another healing
Mass with Father a few days later.
At the retreat, Father spoke on two topics which touched me deeply. The
first was the ways in which Jesus suffered everything a human being can
suffer, and therefore truly understands us completely. That deepened
my sense that Jesus really loves me and knows what I am going
through. The second was on blockages to healing, and I realized I had them
all: unforgiveness, guilt, and unworthiness. I spent the free moments at
the retreat praying to overcome these blockages, especially
unforgiveness and guilt. My reaction at the healing Mass that day
was slightly stronger but still, nothing dramatic. In fact, I left in
tears of disappointment.
However, during the ensuing week, I began to notice interior changes in
myself. Forgiveness, for example, had always seemed nearly impossible,
especially toward one individual. That is, I forgave intellectually, but
not in my heart. I resented the need to forgive. In a way, I felt: I
owe this person nothing. THEY hurt ME, yet I am the one who much be
generous and forgive? It was especially hard because this particular hurt
is ongoing. Yet, since the retreat and Masses, suddenly forgiveness
began to appear almost exciting. I felt strangely pulled to forgive.
Father had made it clear that at its core, Chritanity is all about
forgiveness, and that to forgive is to be as close to Christ as we
can be. He had already established Christ as my dearest friend who
understands all my pain; now I was being drawn to accompany Christ and
allow him to work through me. It is hard to explain but Christ in me
became a much less intellectual concept and more of a felt union. I
felt a strong momentum toward forgiveness.
In the couple of weeks since, this eagerness to forgive has been
challenged many times. I have resisted it at times, and gotten upset with
the person who I most need to forgive. And yet, each time, I HAVE
ultimately been able to forgive. Something happens when I least
expect it that allows me, in the midst of anger and pain, to
suddenly look at this person with the eyes of mercy that Father talked
about, and see them as a beloved child of God. At the same time, with the
help of Father's books (especially "Come Stay Awhile"), I have
deepend my own sense of God's love for me, just as I am, which is
helping me let go of the guilt I have held onto, the sense of being
unworthy that has caused me, as Father said, to come for healing but then
turn away out of a feeling of unworthiness. I had previously gotten to
the state that even when I went to pray before the Blessed Sacrament
at our Adoration Chapel, I was imagining that Jesus was disappointed that
it was me coming for the next hour. Now, when I go to the chapel to
pray, I feel enveloped in Jesus' love.
I think the reason I did not experience instantaneous healing is that I
needed to begin this process of self-realization before I could really
receive Jesus' healing. I know he DOES heal some people instantly; I
know Fathjer has experienced this with some people who attend his
masses. But God also gives us what we need. I think if I experienced
instant healing, I would not have realized the changes I need to make, and
maybe the same problems would have returned to me later.
On a physical level, while I still have some pain, the overwhelmng
weakness I was feeling seems to have left me. I had been getting very
worried about it and even wondered if I was dying. In fact it wasn't until
I sat down to write this that I realized suddenly: it has been
awhile since I woke up feeling like I cannot get through the day. I
attribute it entirely to the healing Mass. I look forward to my next
opportunity to attend one of Father's Masses, where Jesus can bring me to
the next level where I need to be. Thank you, Father, and God bless
you!"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Father, I want to let you know how deeply grateful I am for the
difference you have made in my life in such a relatively short time. You
may remember what I was like before my first healing experience with you,
so quiet and broken, and my body sick from stress and so much
bereavement. I could barely speak and feel. I thought it was what
dying must feel like. I even stopped going to church for a time because I
felt nothing at Mass and so I died even more. I asked for faith because
when you first spoke on the altar that week you talked about how it
is God’s gift to us from which all life flows. From that time my faith has
grown every day and I give thanks for it often. The living presence of
Jesus is the focus of my life now and Mass has taken on a meaning for me
greater than I could ever have imagined that I am often moved to
uncontrollable tears. The gifts and miracles of this past year alone are
too many to list here, including this weekend at the retreat. "

"Hi Fr. McAlear,
... I am writing to you to let you know I saw Jesus in you. It was ...,
2008 at a healing mass in .... I had recently joined a Charismatic prayer
group, just separated after a 23 yr Catholic marriage, on the brink
of dissolving 3 businesses, my daughter ... had just been diagnosed
with epilepsy and I was an emotional and spiritual basket case. I attended
the healing Mass for ... benefit, when my prayer group leader ... told me
to be open, that He (God) knows exactly what He is doing.
I was taken with you handsome good looks and charismatic personality. I
thought you looked like George Clooney and why didn't I know you? I loved
the story of how you all prayed for a truck and someone walked in
the door and offered one while you were praying. ... was also suffering
from a broken heart and low self esteem. When you gave her communion and
said "body of Christ, gorgeous" she lit up like a Christmas tree.
Then when you gave her a healing blessing, and told her she was one good
looking kid she was very much at peace. Thank you.
For me, when I looked more closely at your face and beautiful eyes, I
kept asking myself, don't I know you? Then your eyes morphed to almond
shape and your face changed too, I recognized you, and said to myself, I
know who you are, with a wonderful sense of recognition, Jesus! your
are Jesus! I was fearful to look on the face of Jesus so I closed my eyes.
At that moment, Jesus face transformed from a living human face to a black
and white still of Jesus' face like a screen came down. I wanted to
know if Jesus was happy with me, what His expression was, was he smiling
at me. It was the the most beautiful look and expression of compassion. At
that very moment, you blessed me, touching my forehead with some
holy balm. I had the most tremendous experience of peace and love coursing
though my entire body, like having warm water poured over me from the
inside. Complete peace and love, to see Jesus' face and to feel His
sacred heart. I was looking for a job, and had several other worries, not
a dog gone thing bothered me and has not since.
I asked Jesus where he wanted me to work and live and where could I
serve Him the best. I got a wonderful job with ... and new home just 2
miles from my job, the priced dropped of the condo from $425k to a $300k
over night and my realtor said he had never seen anything like that
in his 25 years in the business. Truly Miraculous. ... went off to
college, at ... University... She received a large merit scholarship
which makes my portion of her room and board affordable. She has
been seizure free for 3 years (taking medication), and her relationship
with her father is much better. Thank you Jesus!
As the anniversary of our healing approaches ..., please be assured of
my prayers. I continue to spend an hour a week with the Blessed Sacrament
and your "Come Stay Awhile" book has been a tremendous boost to my
prayer life. A Mass will be offered for you and your intentions ...
Thank you for sharing the most precious gift of Jesus' sacred heart
with ... and me. It has changed my life forever. I am a Charismatic
Catholic, pursuing a Catholic annulment to be truly free and get my
relationship right with Jesus. I want a deeper more personal and
intimate relationship with Jesus, thank you for leading the way.
May God continue to bless you and your wonderful healing ministry.
Godspeed with all of your endeavors.
With Love and prayers, "

"Father McAlear:
I wanted to advise and thank you of the miraculous healing I received
following my attendance at the recent healing mass at Sts. Peter &
Paul Church ...
Nearly two-and-a-half years ago, I was diagnosed as having multiple
nodules throughout my thyroid. The doctors had taken a watch and wait
approach of my condition. In September 2009, a biopsy of the largest
nodule revealed it was benign. However, over the holidays, this same
nodule grew dramatically and rapidly. My doctor was concerned about the
growth and referred me to a surgeon, who scheduled the surgical
removal of my thyroid for February 15th.
In anticipation of my surgery, I attended your ... healing mass at
Peter & Paul. When I approached you and said I was scheduled to have
my thyroid removed in six days, you placed your hands around my neck,
focusing in on the large nodule even though I never mentioned where
it was located (and although large, its location was not large
enough to be seen by the naked eye). I knew that very moment that God was
working through you.
What I did not know that night was that I would never have to undergo
the surgery thanks to God's healing grace. The day after the healing mass,
I began developing a sinus infection, which ultimately forced me to
reschedule my surgery for March 29th. Although initially disappointed that
I couldn't undergo the surgery as planned (I had gotten myself
psychologically prepared for it by that point), I quickly began to see
this was all part of God's plan. Over the next few weeks, I noticed
a dramatic decrease in the size of the once large nodule. I contacted my
thyroid doctor and requested another ultrasound before the surgery.
A few weeks ago, the ultrasound revealed that not only is the nodule
smaller than it was in December but it's smaller than it ever was before.
My doctor says she has no medical explanation for the dramatic shrinking
of the nodule and has never seen this happen before. In fact, when I
shared with her about the healing mass, she encouraged me to attend
another so you can lay your hands on me again and the nodule can go away
completely. When I said you would not be coming to Florida again
this year, she told me to get a plane ticket and travel up north to
see you then. My smaller nodules have also appeared to shrink somewhat. As
a result, she said I no longer need the surgery. Praise God!
Thank you so much, Father McAlear, for coming to Winter Park with your
wonderful ministry! If it were not for God's healing grace working through
you, I would be undergoing surgery tomorrow.
...
Father McAlear, please continue to pray for my thyroid and please also
pray for my gallbladder. I may be needing to undergo surgery for the
removal of my gallbladder in upcoming months due to gallstones.
God Bless you abundantly,"

"It has been over a year since my healing ... last winter and I felt
compelled recently to thank you and share my story. I had stopped going to
Church and started to lead a destructive life through college and
became pregnant in the summer of 2008. I moved home and started
attending Mass with my sister and felt an urge to attend your healing Mass
with my dad that winter. The whole walk up to the alter for healing I was
crying uncontrollably and couldn't contain my emotions. When you
first stood in front of me you noticed that I was with child but I
couldn't stop crying to say anything. I don't mean this badly...but I
remember looking directly into your eyes felt almost unbearable. When you
laid your hands on my head the feeling i experienced was
indescribable. It felt as though my 'inner' self was just scooped up
very fast and it was just surreal. I had never felt such a
feeling...almost like an electric current. It makes me cry today..but I
feel like you also touched my daughter growing in my womb. She was born on
April 4th. Her first birthday is on Easter Sunday in 2 weeks. I
named her Gianna Gabriel after St. Gianna Beretta Molla and the angel
Gabriel. I pray that I will be able to attend your healing mass with her
later in April. I long to be as close to God again as I was at that
moment."

"I saw someone last night that I haven't seen in awhile. Seems she came
to the Healing Mass at ... with Fr. McAlear. She had a severe pain in her
pelvis area for over a year, and went to several doctors, and no one
could figure out what was causing it, and no one could get rid of
the pain. She said Fr. touched her, she went right down and since the next
day, she has never had pain again.
Praise and Thanksgiving!"

"Dear Fr. McAlear, Merry Christmas and thank you for your prayers.
Truthfully, I didn't know why I was restless and weary when I stepped foot
into the church the first night to hear you. Though I am a catholic from
birth who grew up loving Jesus, after your blessing last year, my
heart has been set on fire and I am in love with our Savior! I have found
peace in front of the Blessed Sacrament and now frequently attend daily
mass and the sacrament of Reconciliation. I no longer walk
alone."

"I feel very blessed that I was healed. I was having sharp pain in my
back and could not figure out why. I also was fighting depression. My
depression is much better now. I really would like to thank Fr.
Richard McAlear for blessing me through the Holy Spirit.
God Bless You"

"I am 82 1/2 yrs old arthritic woman, who has had both knees and both
hip joints replaced over the period from 1997 - 2007. I had severe pain
after my 2007 hip replacement, in spite of the fact that x-rays showed
that the operation was done properly, and I could actually walk
alright. I went back for several weeks of 2 or 3 hours of therapy each
week, and my pain was gone and my general health and vigor is excellent.
I feel that this healing and general health, while not instantaneous
was nevertheless the result of Hold Spirit I experienced at a healing Mass
at St. Patrick's two years ago. Sincerely yours..."

wonderful. I posted it on faceblook and my space to my family and friends.

"Hello Fr. Mac!!!!
I have been praying for over the past five months and wanted to write
at this blessed time of year. I hope this e-mail finds you in good health
and spirit. God's awesome work in my life has continued to grow and grow
since this past summer. This is my 5th month with no psychiatric
drug nor sleeping medication. It's truly a miracle. This is the first
Christmas in 11 years that I will be able to celebrate His blessed arrival
with nothing altering my mind! I feel better than ever, my thoughts
are sharp and my heart is overflowing with gratitude to Him for all the
wonderful people and prayers he has brought into my life. My doctors and
others, including ..., cannot believe the change. I smile all the
time, can always find some good even when things don't appear to be and
you know what? My eyes have LIFE in them again!
Bless you, bless you, bless you for your presence in my life and in
that of others. ... I finally found the one thing I've searched 45 years
for......Him! He really is there and loves me and I love him."

"Dear Father McAlear,
Greetings from ... I hope you had a safe trip back to Boston. I just
wanted to thank you for your coming with this powerful retreat. I want you
to know, that through your intercession Jesus has healed me from hernia.
After you have prayed for me at the Healing Service I don't have any
more pain nor problems with hernia. Thank you Jesus and Thank you Fr.
Mac!!!
...We miss you here, and I just heard you are coming back in 2 years. I
can't wait to you comeback. By the way, the priests of our Diocese loved
your retreat! One elderly priest called me and he told me that he was very
moved with your retreat. Thank you Father and may God reward all you
hard work."

"Hello Father,
...
I just got through reading the little booklet, "Speaking from the
Heart"...
I have to tell you, I was so moved, so connected and so close to our
Savior during the reading of those prayers.
When I saw your picture on the booklet, I said to myself, oh yes, I
remember him. Your visit here ... left such an impression on me. I
remember receiving your blessing during that healing mass... but I was so
moved and enlightened by your prayer, your sermon and your words of
advice.
My life, unfortunately, has taken quite a turn in the time since you
were. ... The only thing that has gotten me through all this, is my faith,
prayer and GOD!
And I want to tell you, I was MEANT to find that booklet! I can't tell
you how much it inspired me. Thank you so much for your ability to
communicate, to write, to pray and to share those prayers with others...
I am a lost and confused soul right now. Injured, hurting and full of
despair. I thank God everyday for my faith and what HE has given me in my
life - - the roses and the thorns...
Bless you Father - - and thank you for your inspiration - - and
ESPECIALLY for "Speaking from the Heart"
GOD BLESS YOU"

"Dear Father Mac, I want to thank you for your ministry and for sharing
the gifts that God has bestowed upon you. I attended a healing mass on ...
with my daughter and my mom. ... This was my first healing mass, and
hope to meet you again someday. You blessed me, and the holy spirit filled
my aching heart and chest, and for the first time in a long time, I felt
like I belonged somewhere. It was really God's hand at work for our
attending the service. I have never had such a profound religious
experience that has made a lasting impression on me. I pray this is just
the beginning and the inner peace I have just keep getting stronger every
day."

Ministry."

went to your mass yesterday at ... and received a deep spiritual healing.
After I fell I heard a beautiful male voice speaking to me in a different
language and felt a deep peace that I still have. All I can say is
thank you God, thank you God, thank you God! He is so great and I can feel
such a love for him now."

"Dear Fr. Mac,
This is ... responding to the wonderful healing you have done for ....
Week after week I can hardly believe this is the same person I have prayed
for and worried over for so many years. She is in love with God, in love
with life, a new person to her sons and a tower of new strength. I
love you for being there for her, showing her the way with your love and
prayers. She loves you, you know this I am sure.
I can hardly wait to see where she goes, there must be a special need
somewhere just for her, she is eager to serve.
This healing has strengthened my Faith so much. It was a long road that
at times was difficult but with patience and prayer I never gave up hope
for her . As a result I can honestly say that now am right where God
wants me to be. I no longer yearn for anything else other than what
I am blessed with and live in peace.. At age 78, I have a vibrant life
that daily Mass rewards me.
Blessings and wellness and thank you again,

I spoke to you ... after the mass and again I must tell you that in 41
years NEVER have I felt the way I did at that mass…
When my son asked you that he wanted dear lord to come into his heart
and as you blessed him you were holding my hand and I began to cry and had
a feeling I cannot describe…People who do not believe wont and will
never understand…An absolute miracle in my eyes and my heart !!

"Dear Father McAlear,
On July 1st you offered a healing mass at ... God's power, through you,
healed my grandson. Christian's left eye was completely healed within 2
weeks of the service there. He had a severe clogged tear duct since his
birth in July of 2008. I am still rejoicing, and praising God with
thanksgiving for the gift of healing that occurred in Christian. My
daughter, and son-in-law are grateful as well. All of us experienced the
peace and healing power of God's Love, in our community that night. I
wanted to express thanks for the beautiful mass you offered, and to
personally witness to the healing presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist
working through you as a Roman Catholic priest. I will pray for you in
your ministry, especially in this Year for Priests, as the Holy
Father requests. Thanks for your powerful witness of hope, and healing,
through Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."

"I traveled to Port Orange from the ... area to go to Father Mc Alear's
Healing Mass and I was so happy that I did. I was operated on 3 weeks ago
for bladder cancer and was suffering with pain and could not hold my urine
well and was up every half hour to go to the bath room. Last night
was the first night that I was able to sleep through the night without
getting up until this morning. I was able to make the 3 hour trip back
from Port Orange with out stopping to go to the bathroom. I'm 69 years
old and I arose without my normal groans from the pains in my legs,
hands, arms. Thank you Father Mc Alear for the wise words that allowed me
to let go of the guilt and man ego and not understanding that Jesus wants
me to heal and be well.
Thank you Lord, I've been away too long."

"I was given a copy of Father McAlear's Healing prayer which I brought
to my mom to pray with her. My mom has a rare progressive neurological
disease called Corticobasal Degeneration. It is a dying of this section
(corticobasal) of the brain that affects her motor skills, her
balance, her speech and she feels very light headed and groggy everyday.
She is unable to walk and she had been experiencing back pain caused by
compression fractures from sitting all the time. The pain medicine
really knocked her out. I prayed this powerful prayer to her with tears
streaming down my face asking God for His healing - complete healing but
accepting His will for my mother's life. Three days later on
Thanksgiving Day, 2008 I asked mom how her back was and she said she had
no more pain and I said for how long and we realized she hadn't any pain
since I prayed this prayer with and for her. She remains pain free
today. Thanks be to our Almighty God. "

"I attended your healing Mass in Rochester for the first time this
fall. I found it very deep and powerful. I'm a person with strong Faith
and pray everyday to God for his help By attending that Mass it made me
feel even stronger in my Faith. I find you to be a very gentle and
powerful priest thru God and hoping that in prayer I can receive
God's healing for myself and family."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"I was so moved by the mass, and when you came to me and touched my
head & face, I felt lightheaded and faint. I immediately started to
swoon and cry and had to sit down to recover. I really feel that your
touch from GOD helped me to not have cancer in my lymph nodes, but I
am still left with aggressive breast cancer, as stated will need the help
of chemo and radiation to further kill the cancer cells.
As I fight my continual battle, I would respectfully ask if you could
say a prayer for me to help me recover. I truly believe in the healing of
prayers and believe that “the will of GOD will never take me where the
grace of GOD will not protect me”. "

"Dear Father McAlear,
I attended the healing mass at ... and I was so taken by the power of
Jesus that I could not speak when I came to the alter to be anointed and
ask for healing. After being anointed by you I felt such a feeling of
warmth and peace within myself --something I cannot explain. That
evening when I got home I sat and cried because of the feeling I had
inside of me..
I am faced with a dilemma and this time I ask for your spiritual
healing and guidance in making a decision. I met with a brain and spine
surgeon today and surgery is suggested to fuse my back. I am
frightened to have surgery. In 2005 I was scheduled to have my neck
fused. Two weeks before surgery, after attending Sunday mass at ... with
my family (Mother's Day) I suffered a brain hemorrhage causing a
stroke so surgery was canceled. To this day I have not had my neck fused,
I have been dealing with the pain.
When I went to your healing mass at ..., I was in severe pain in both
my neck and back. After being anointed by you I have not had any neck
pain and I am grateful and thankful for what Jesus has given me. I
am asking you for healing to my back as well. I fear having surgery due
to what happened to me in 2005. Thank you and God bless you for all that
you do for people all over the world."

"Dear Fr McAlear, I want to thank you for the healing and peacefulness
I received during a healing mass. I knew I was looking into the eyes of
Jesus and when you touched me, I began to cry and you turned back to me an
said,"It's going to be okay." You see I have battled breast cancer
and when I came to the mass , I was facing more surgery. Well the surgery
revealed that I was cancer-free!!! Jesus' love and healing is what I
believed happened. I will never forget and always be grateful for
this gift of healing. Thank you for your ministering to heal. God bless
you"

"Father last night I attended a mass in ... church. It was wonderful,
and so were you
As I waited at the alter for you to bless me, I just kept staring at
the blessed sacarment thinking I should be on both knees while waiting for
you, then all of a sudden I became emotional I stated to cry. The closer
you came the more I cryed.
When you reached me you touched my head and my face and told me what a
tough life I have had , but GOD was with me all the way, that he never
left me.
Father no one has ever understood how felt inside before, your eyes are
the eyes of GOD, I thank him that I could be in your presents.
you brought someone over to me to hold me while I cried and I cried for
a long time and very hard.
No one has ever touched my heart the way you did father and I'm so
grateful to God that I was in your presence, you truly a gift from God, I
will never ever forget you or how you knew what it has been like for me
all this time.
Thank you so much for your blessing, I'm honored that you were there
for me. Godd bless you and all the wonderful work you do.
Thank you in God,"

"My Dear Fr. McAlear:
I want to thank Jesus and the Holy Spirit working through you for
bringing my daugher back to her faith. We attended a mass at ... a few
years ago ... At that time, my daughter had graduated college and was
dating men of the muslim faith for a number of years and not
attending mass. In fact, she would say I will be whatever religion
my husband is. I mentioned the healing mass to her each time I attended
and the incredible experience I had each time - resting in the Spirit - my
gentle conversations at dinner was when the Holy Spirit must have
began His work. The next time I mentioned I would be attending your
healing mass she said I want to go with you. Believe me, it was a complete
(shock) surprise. As soon as you approached her she received -
healing in the Spirit - she was so overwhelmed that she stopped
dating completely, joined a Bible study group, went to confession and
attended Sunday mass regularly. After two or three years went by she met a
catholic single man with a devout faith and he a year and a half
later took her to Medjugorge to propose to her and they were
eventually married. They returned to Medjugorge this year for their 2nd
anniversary and they are expecting their first child. I know through her
receipt of healing at your mass and your praying over her completely
changed her life. My daughter will never forget you nor will I. You have a
remarkable holy presence and have been given the magnificent gift of
healing, we thank God for blessing you and sending you to us."

"Our daughter was approx 14 weeks pregnant when an ultrasound
discovered a major problem.. the baby's bladder was blocked and VERY
distended.....a follow-up scan showed it to be a COMPLETE blockage and in
utero surgery would be needed and very SOON to protect the lungs and
kidneys! Since it was such a delicate procedure...an out of state hospital
was recommended , I asked Fr McAlear for prayer (via email) and he prayed
for her. A few days later an ultrasound showed the blockage was
completely gone and the baby "is fine!!" The doctors were amazed! My
daughter and her husband told the physicians that it was PRAYER! Our
family will be attending the Healing Mass tonight at... Fr McAlear
is being used by the Lord in a very powerful ministry. Please pray for
Father's health and safety in his travels."

"May God continue to bless you through your wonderful loving work so
that you may continue reaching those people in need. (like my daughter and
myself.)
My daughter who is 14 had been sexually assaulted 9 weeks ago. We were
having a very emotional time and home life was extremely hard, almost
unbearable. My daughter had gone from a very studious, loving, polite
teenager (yes they do exist) to an out of control, self harming and
very angry and confused person. It was killing me inside to see her like
this and trying to cope with our new life was destroying me (our whole
family). Nothing I did was working and I had run out of things to try,
people to turn to.... I was at my end.
A Blessing and Healing Mass, I had never heard of anything like this
before. My parish in ... was holding one and I felt we needed to attend.
The service was lovely and very claming. Then people began moving
forward for the blessings and healing. My daughter and I didn't know what
was happening or what we had to do. So we went up together, holding hands.
Father Mac took my daughter by the hands and she rested in Christ. He
then took my hands and I cried in the arms of a lady I didn't know until a
warmth so comforting went through my entire body and rested in my
chest. I breathed a deep satisfying sigh and returned to my seat
where I found my daughter looking rather glowing.
It has been a week now and our lives are fantastic again. She sings,
draws and gives the best cuddles. She says that all those feelings she had
are just gone, they left her body when the white light that tingled
through her sent them through the floor. And I am very clam and have
coped with all things in my busy life of raising twins and working full
time on my own.
Thank you, we are so at peace and our love for the Lord has grown."

"Last night I attended your healing mass and service at ... Quite
honestly I had no plan to attend but felt "pulled"-? called-? to come and
so I did.
I came with an open mind and heart but did not expect that I would
leave profoundly healed and changed!! WOW! is all I can say, I am still at
a loss to understand how I can be so different than I was yesterday.
When you placed your hand over mine and anointed my forehead with oil,
I felt that a lifetime of pain, heartache, trauma, anxiety and loss was
"pulled" from my body. The peace that I felt afterwards and the way that
I feel now is hard to put into words. Thank you as your healing
ministry is truly a blessing and this experience has come to me at exactly
in the time of my life when I needed it the most."

"Last year My Daughter and I took my granddaughter to your healing
mass. My granddaughter has Epilepsy. She was hesitant to go up to you, but
finally decided to do it. She talked to you and listened to what you said
about looking towards the light. She believed! Well, her recent EEG
showed no signs of Epilepsy. The doctor is going to start to decrease her
medicine and eventually she will get off of it. We are truly blessed.
Thank you for sharing your gift of faith, hope and love. The peace
we feel while attending your masses is overwhelming. We hope to see
you again soon. "

"Words cannot describe the peace and happiness I felt after your
services. My life changed in so many good ways. I had been on
anti-depressants for about two years and was in a very unsettling
marriage. I no longer take the anti-depressants and my marriage has also
improved. I truly felt the Lord's presence working through you."

"It is aways a blessing to be at your Mass. The gentle generous love of
God and His Holy Spirit speaks to us through your ministry... Thank you
for praying over us. We came away with lasting peace and joy and an
assurance Jesus had healed whatever we needed to be there for that
night.
It is more than twenty-five years ago that you prayed a few times ...
for our adopted son ... who then was about 11 years old. ... You told him
he would be a "great leader" some day. He is 37 now, married with
two children and a Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI Terrorism Squad
... We are always grateful to you for your prayers for him as his out of
control temper tantrums ceased afterwards. Today he too acknowledges
the impact your prayers had on him.
May the Lord of us all bless you with an abundance of His love in
all the ways you serve Him each day."

"In 2003 Kathy was healed of a systemic Strep B infection that
ultimately threatened her life. She worshiped the Lord with you at ... one
evening in .... She was seeing a specialist at this time and he had told
her that he didn't know what they were going to do for her or how
they were going to treat her, but they would do everything they could to
help her. Through the years of repeated infections she had become allergic
to almost all antibiotics so treatments for her were becoming more
difficult.
The day after the Healing Mass ..., Kathy went in for blood tests. When
the Doctor called with the results of the tests he was astounded. He
said,"Kathy, I don't understand this---You have absolutely no Strep B
in your system. It is as though someone laid hands on you."
Kathy has been Strep B free since that time."

"Dear Father, I attended a Healing Mass at the ... Chapel in April. I
had promised a friend that I would go. I was doubtful about what I had
heard at the Healing Mass. I brought my daughter who has Spina Bifida and
when we went up to receive your blessing I started to sob
uncontrollably. I looked in your eyes they were like two deep blue pools
of water. I stumbled and realized that something wonderful had happened to
me.
I thank you and Jesus for this feeling of peace and comfort. My
daughter also felt a warm feeling over her. I have always believed
in miracles and I pray that I have this feeling again. I did not expect a
cure for my child, but she felt peaceful for the first time in her life.
The feeling of peace stayed with us for several days. I pray that
will be able to attend another healing mass in the near future. Thank you
and may God Bless You."

"Between the months of February and March 2000, I had three medical
tests taken that my gynecologist had requested because of some symptoms I
had told him I was feeling. I took a Blood test, a Pelvic Sonogram and a
MRI of the pelvic. The sonogram and MRI showed I had a mass, tumors
and fibroids on my left ovary, which also showed cancer. The blood test
level showed cancer too. I did not doubt the cancer, since I had had the
start of cervical cancer in 1992 and had Cone Biopsy surgery to
remove it, and had been cancer free since that time. Although I had
resolved myself to the fact that after eight years the cancer reoccurred,
I was determined to fight it. My doctor said I would need surgery
immediately, but he also wanted me to have another MRI of the pelvic
and stomach to see if the cancer had spread from the ovary to any of my
organs. I was scheduled for that test on Friday morning ...
On Thursday, I attended a healing Mass in Brooklyn. As Father McAlear
stared into my eyes and anointed me, I suddenly felt a burning heat pass
through my entire body. I also felt an intense "tingling" going through
me. The tingling lasted approximately five minutes after I returned
to my seat. It ended as though it was trying to "rip" out of my body
through my fingertips. I had never experienced anything like that, and had
actually thought I may be having a heart attack, but minutes later I
mentally and physically felt much better.
Friday, the next morning, I went for my final MRI test. They told me
they would rush the report and have the results to my doctor on Monday.
When I walked into my doctor's waiting room, my doctor and his partner
were at the front desk. They said to me, "we have been looking at
your film and report and we are completely baffled." I asked them why.
My doctor looked at me and said, "it's a miracle." The other doctor
said, "only God could do this". I was shocked by their statements,
since science seems to conflict with religion. They then told me
there were absolutely no signs of cancer anywhere. Despite the fact that
both doctors had believed that something miraculous had occurred, they
said I had to take the test again. I did, and all tests how no signs
of cancer. Three tests showed I had cancer, and the same three tests
I took after I was anointed by Father McAlear, showed I had no cancer."

"Dear Fr. McAlear, My sister attended your healing service ... . She
told me all about it last evening. Our mother, who is 90 years old, is now
in Hospice Care having been in a nursing home for the past 7 years. Our
mother was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1973 at ... and she has
been praying for my sister since that time. The hospice nurse told us she
probably has 3 days, maybe a week or so to live.
Well, from the way my sister spoke, our mother's prayers were answered.
My sister called mom today to tell her what happened to her at the
healing service. My sister has never attended anything like that
ever. The smile on my mother's face - as my sister described what happened
to her at the service - was so amazingly beautiful. My mother was so happy
and just kept saying thank you my Jesus with all the strength she
had left. 33 years of prayer for her daughter to experience the love of
Jesus was answered. We heard about how her tears just flowed and flowed as
she felt the love, forgiveness and mercy of Jesus. I thought you
would like to know about this. Thank you for your vocation and ministry
and I hope to attend one of your healing services in ...."

"I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. The prayers of my family,
close friends and those in my faith community have pulled me through two
liver transplants and sepsis of the blood. My latest experience with
the power of prayer is truly amazing.
On ... I had barely finished dinner when I felt discomfort in my
abdomen. That was around 7 pm. The discomfort grew in waves of pain which
grew sharper by the minute. By 9:30 the pain was some the most intense I
have ever experienced. My wife, ..., drove me to the hospital. I
admitted at the emergency room where I was given a narcotic to ease
the pain. (My wife) ... and I learned that I had a bowel obstruction. Food
was backing up at the site of the obstruction and was cause pressure. The
pressure was the cause of the pain. If left untreated, the bowel can
burst and major infection can occur. Friday was spent in the x-ray room as
the medical tried to locate the obstruction. In half the cases the
obstruction clears itself. The other require surgery.
After the test, I was returned to my room. At that time I was visited
by my mother-in-law, ... and her neice, ... who was visiting us .... (She)
... told me her mom, ... and her friend, ... were planning to attend a
healing mass that evening and that they would offer up their healing
to help me. Later that evening, my bowel obstruction cleared on its own.
The pressure in my abdomen was gone and I felt like myself again. I live
near Seattle, Wa. The healing mass was in Florida. With the 3 hour
time difference, it turned I got well at the same time the mass was being
said. It could not be mere coincidence and there was no doubt that the
power of prayer was at work. Thanks be to God. And thank you Fr.
McAlear, ... and to all who prayed for my rapid recovery."

"I attended a Mass and Healing Service at Ave Maria University. After
Mass I went up to the altar. I had my head down in prayer. Father came to
me and lifted up my chin. At that very moment I saw the face of Jesus in
Father's eyes and a sense of such profound peace. It is an
experience I will never forget. I believe Jesus is truly working through
Father."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"I just wanted to send you this email to thank you for a wonderful
experience last evening at the healing mass. I have never felt anything so
powerful before. My mom felt the same way. We just wanted to thank you so
much. I had this warm sensation throughout my body for the whole
evening and still feel an overwhelming sense of "peace". Thank you again!
God Bless You!"

"Thank you so much for all your prayers and visit... wanted you to know
my eye surgry to remove tumors and put in grafts was a GREAT success. The
tumors were bigger than last time and should have had more
problems... NO...A week later I see better than in years. I pray for
you and the ministry God has given you....I am grateful and humbled by the
work you do in HIS name... THANK YOU!!!!"

"I have never known such peace and joy as since I first heard Father
Richard in 1998 in Brisbane."

"On September 28th I was told I had two lumps in my neck. I was sent
for a ultra sound which confirmed a large and a small tumor in the
thyroid. On October 10th I went for a needle biopsy. The results stated
there was a significant chance of follicular carcinoma. On October
22nd an operation was set up for November 5th.
That evening there was a healing Mass with Father McAlear. After
the Mass I went up to be blessed by Father McAlear. He asked me what
happened to my neck as it was black and blue from the biopsy. I told him
they thought I had cancer of the thyroid. Father McAlear said to me, "and
you're afraid aren't you?" He told me I would be okay and he looked
deep into my eyes and I felt that I was looking into the eyes of Jesus.
The next thing I remember I was laying on the floor and someone was
praying over me. I have never had such a feeling come over me as I
did that evening.
When I had my operation on November 5th the doctor said I was 80% free
of cancer and the final results would be in in 2 weeks. On November
20th the final results showed me to be cancer free. Our Lord saw fit to
bless me and I am so grateful."

"Do I believe in miracles and in healing? Sure I do. Through prayer,
the power of the Eucharist and people like Betty and Fr. (McAlear), the
Lord has brought much healing into my life, not so much physical but
spiritual, which to me is the one with greatest importance. Many
times I only became aware of this healing in retrospect, realizing that
old behaviors and attitudes were not controlling my life the way they used
to, and that my life was much more at peace and my heart had greater
desire to know and serve the Lord.
Betty and Fr. are very gifted with discernment, knowledge, wisdom,
healing, and most of all a true desire to serve the Lord through the
many people that come to them for prayers. I pray that many will come in
true faith and with great expectations to experience the love of God.

"When you held up the Eucharist and the Chalice, I knew, I experienced
Jesus, fully present! I have not wanted to come back to the Catholic
Church. I don't like being around most Catholics. It's our Protestant
brothers and sisters who have been a source of such love and comfort
and compassion for me in these last three years. I have experienced The
Holy Spirit moving in the Sunday Services, and in my life as never before.
Why would I want to return to the Catholic Church. Well, guess what?
I don't have a choice!
After your Masses, and meeting Jesus in the Eucharist, I know He is
requiring me to stay. Nothing matters except the Eucharist! I get
it! It's essential. It's central. Everything else in our lives is meant to
revolve around the Eucharist. So, onward and upward!
Thank you for answering your call to the Priesthood. Thank you for the
life you live, that is making it possible for people like me to know
Jesus in the Eucharist. May the Risen Christ Bless and restore you, and
may His Angels guard you day and night. "

"Dear Father McAlear, I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how
much attending your Healing Liturgies and Healing Retreat have meant to
me. Mere words are inadequate to describe this truly wonderful
experience for me. I am sure that I have not yet even begun to
realize all of the positive effects this week has had on me, but I already
feel that this has been life altering. I feel as though all of my
emotional pain, burdens, guilt, and sins of the past, as well as
fear and anxiety have been released and these absolutely wonderful
feelings of peace and love have replaced them. This has truly strengthened
my faith. I truly felt Jesus' presence during the blessings and I have
felt God's mercy and love throughout this experience. I feel very
blessed and am incredibly thankful. "

"When he (Fr. McAlear) was in Killarney, Co. Kerry he met a young man
who was very seriously ill, not really doing well with medical treatment
and death was a possibility. The family got great comfort from meeting
Fr. Mac and were so much more resigned.
Today the man is able to lead a fairly normal life and seems to be in
remission. His quality of life is excellent and he is fully involved in
his farm again. He uses crutches to get around due to a weak arm and leg
but he is alive. The family would love Fr. Mac to know all of this"

"Fr. McAlear, I wanted to say thanks for the help at your healing
service I was the man who told you that you had helped me 15 years ago I
first saw you when I was diagnosed with lymphoma - and have been chugging
along ever since with no symptoms."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"while listening to your talk about forgiveness, I realized that God
was speaking to me, and showed me that was what was missing. I have since
been truly able to forgive and let go, and trust in God's will for meThis
truly was a turning point in my life, and I know it's the beginning
of the healing I've waited so long for, and the miracle I've prayed for!"

"Two and a half years ago my fiancé was diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer. He had surgery and was doing well until October when we learned
the cancer had returned and was now in his liver. We attended your
service with friends in the hopes it would help Louis. He is still
doing well despite the fact the Doctors told us he would not be here for
the holidays.
I did not however expect what happened to me after receiving your
blessing. Last December I lost my father to cancer and was the
caregiver for both Louis and my father. My mother took my father's death
very hard and also has health issues with her eye and depends on me to run
her errands. Needless to say I have been somewhat stressed over the
past 2-1/2 years. When I was at the alter waiting for your blessing I
started thinking about my father and the emotions were building up inside
of me. At the moment you stood next to me the organist started
singing Be Not Afraid which is the hymn that was sung at my father's
funeral. I felt as though my father was there with me and was so overcome
with emotion I couldn't even speak to you. I closed my eyes and
remember falling back and laying on the floor of the church feeling
a sense of peace that I had never felt. When I returned to my seat
everyone was asking me what happened. My fiancé said my face was glowing.
I laughed because my skin had been very dry and broken out from our
recent cold weather. However, when I looked in the mirror I was somewhat
shocked to see that my face was completely cleared up and the skin where
you touched my face was very soft.
Since that evening my attitude has completely changed and I know that I
will be able to handle whatever the future brings. When I begin feeling
a little overwhelmed I remember the words you quoted from The
Blessed Mother......."Why are you anxious?" I know that I am not alone and
my prayers will be heard."

"Dear Father, I went to the healing mass... Thank you for blessing me
and helping me through a difficult week. My sister ... passed away on
December 23 of cancer. I truely believed that your healing mass helped
myself and her family to let her go and be with Jesus, Thank you and
God Bless you."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Thank you is the only thing I can think to say to you. I came to your
healing service reluctant and a little afraid and I went away with a
feeling inside that I can't explain! I feel very calm and peaceful within.
I haven't felt that in 3 years! I'm returning tonight and bringing
my sister. Last night I came to you a little fearful-- tonight I came
rejoiceful and anxious to feel Jesus presence through you. I thank our
Lord for blessing you with his healing powers."

"When a friend asked me to go to one of Fr. McAlear’s Healing Masses, I
had no idea of the profound effect it would have on my life. I didn’t
really know what to expect, but I did know that I was in need of
healing, as I had been going through a very difficult time in my life.
At the Mass, I was in tears just listening to Father’s Homily. When it
became time for me to go up for a blessing, I felt very vulnerable
emotionally and I was also nervous because I didn’t know what I was
supposed to say or do when I got up there.
I don’t know how to explain it, but when I looked up into Fr. McAlear’s
eyes, I was looking into Jesus’ eyes! And Jesus was looking into my
eyes—straight down into my heart and soul. Unfortunately, I think a
combination of shock over this and my personal feeling of unworthiness
caused me to pull away. As I sat at my seat in tears, I felt such
regret for having shut down. I knew that I had encountered God at that
moment and I felt an incredible pull to encounter Him again.
So, I attended Fr. McAlear’s Day of Teaching the next day and received
another blessing at the end of that day, with more tears and with one of
Father’s helpers comforting me and telling me that she knew that I was “a
good soul” (exactly what I needed to hear at that point in my life)
and I left with an even stronger pull to return.
So, I went to another of Fr. McAlear’s Healing Masses two days later.
This time when I went up for a blessing, I felt the strongest physical
presence of Jesus right there and I opened my heart to Him. When Fr.
McAlear gave me a blessing, I physically felt the Holy Spirit enter
my body. It felt like this rush of heat flowing through my body and the
next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor Resting in the Spirit. It
felt like the heat was cleansing or purging all of my anxiety, fears,
emotional pain, heartache, guilt, and feelings of unworthiness to
heal me emotionally and spiritually. It was like everything negative from
my whole life was being purged from me through my tears. I heard a
beautiful comforting voice speaking in another language (which I
later found out was one of Father’s helpers praying over me in tongues).
When I got up, all I felt was the most awesome feeling of complete and
absolute peace and love, unlike anything that I had ever felt
before. And I knew at that moment, beyond any doubt, that there
really was a God and that He actually really loved me! And I am so very
thankful for His love and for His awesome gift of allowing me to feel His
presence, His love, His mercy, and His healing touch through Fr.
McAlear's ministry. My life will never be the same. "

"I was so excited after the healing mass I drove home and brought my
husband back before the mass ended. At that time he had recently been
diagnosed with HepC. Since then he has no signs of the virus in his system
which has the doctors baffled. He remains on a regiment of
medications as precautionary measure for another 4 months. I am grateful
that the Lord has chose to work miracles through you."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Father,
Thank you for answering your priestly call. You and all priests are
such a gift to the church! I praise God for priests like you!
I went to your mass tonight and I want to thank you (and give God the
glory) for how you handled my little girl. ...(She) is a very sensitive
little girl and tonight, when she saw all the people falling in the
Spirit it really did frighten her. So, I had the bright idea to tell
her that it was the Holy Spirit *kissing them to try to make her less
afraid of it. I don't think it worked.
But then, there you were showering her with blessings and KISSES!! You
made her so happy! You really represented the Holy Spirit to her and she
understood that!
Once again I am touched by the tender heart of God who reaches for his
little children. I LOVE God so much. *I was so blessed! God bless you and
I will always pray for you from now on!"

"I would like to Thank God and Fr McAlear for the prayers for My Mother
and the healings she received. Jan 2006 she had surprise heart surgery.
Mom had surgery and was transferred out of the CCU unit in 1 day. She had
no pain from the surgery and was ready to go home she thought. In 4
days she was sent to rehab and continued to heal. Everyone says how
wonderful Mom looks and how great she is doing after her surgery. May 2006
she had an emergency hysterectomy and healed wonderfully from the
surgery. Mom had radiation in 2006 as a precaution and is cancer free
thanks to the prayers and love we received during the difficult times. .
All the doctors were amazed how well mom did after the surgeries. All we
could say is it is Gods grace. She really glows with Gods love.
Our Doctor even said Mom is a miracle and he has his hand on her. He
knows God has brought her through all these things because of Fr.McAlears
prayers and Gods grace and love.
I want to Thank God for all his blessings and graces he gives us each
day.
Fr.McAlear is a great gift from God and we are very blessed to have him
in our lives. "
