SPEAKERS : FR. EFREN BORROMEO,
TRINITAS HEALING MINISTRY
INTRO: Healing is not limited to the healing of the body; but more importantly to the healing of the heart, of the spirit and of relationships. The Trinitas Healing Ministry has a team of healers led by Reverend Father Efren Borromeo from the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity. He is endowed with special gifts of healing and we are fortunate to have him here with us today.
Today, Father Efren is going to share with us his unique God-given gift of healing. Before we turn you over to Father Efren, we'd also like to welcome Ms. Ellen Tordecillas. Is Ms. Ellen here, from “I Can Serve?” Anyway, she probably will be…there, there is Ms. Ellen. That's one of our guest panelists. Now, with no further ado… Please Welcome Father Efren Borromeo.
(everybody claps)
FR. EFREN BORROMEO (EB): Good morning!
AUDIENCE (A): Good Morning Father!
EB: Ayaw yata sa akin ng microphone, because I don't do much talking, I would prefer to do much healing; and we do this communally. Tamang tama po yung ginawa natin, yung Qi Gong. We get energy from nature and nature is definitely expression of God. It's not really immanent-ism, it is God's eminence in nature. God is with us, that's why we call Him Emmanuel, di po ba? We call Him Emmanuel, meaning to say God is very, very much with us.
That's why usually what we do in Trinitas -- Trinitas is trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; so the compassion of God, the raham of God, meaning to say the womb, the tenderly, motherly love of God -- we try to facilitate that each and every one of us would discover it. That's why probably po itong mga sakit natin; lahat po tayo meron sakit. Ang madali pong maramdaman yung physical na sakit. Pero yung spiritual na sakit, kung minsan hindi po nakikita. Hindi masyado iniintindi, lalong-lalo na po yung psycho-emotional.
And definitely the whole nation now is may sakit, yung AIDS, di po ba AIDS – Acquire Income Deficiency Syndrome (laughs.) So lahat po tayo may sakit, in a way. So what we are trying to do here really, and tamang-tama si Maribi later on, she will share with us. Kaya kanina before we started, nakita po namin na magka-integrate ang aming talk, so, I will not do talking so much, I will leave it to Maribi; and also I have here Dr. Philip Tan. Kasi mas maganda kung minsan na yung sinasabi nilang Alternative Healing; I would really like to have Integrative Healing, kasi from the medical side, from the spiritual side, lahat po kung mapu-pwede gamitin natin ang lahat ng yan. Kasi ang sakit, I call it, dis-is. Dis-harmony. Dis-harmony. So what we need is to integrate, to whole, make us whole again. So yun lang po.
So by the way, if you would like to follow up, we do healing in UP Delaney hall, 8 in the morning until 12 noon in UP Delaney hall. Yung chapel po, UP Chapel, sa baba nun meron pong hall. Usually, ang healing po dun usually; actually dinevise po namin yun for cancer patients. So you are welcome there!
INTRO: Thank you Father. Si Maribi Garcia po, isa po siyang best selling author. So meron po tayong best selling author na kasama po today. Si Maribi po ang author ng books for healing and prayers. Isa sa mga libro nya ang pangalan is Presents, Prayers for Busy People; Healing Prayers; Prayers for Healing; Always Near; Prayers for Children and Lifter Lines which are messages of Hope. And she is also the co-founder of the Bethesda Springs of Hope Healing Ministry with Father Teofilo Rustia and she was inspired to do so, because of her own Inner Healing experiences. And because of that she has become driven to be of service to other people in need of guidance and help, so please welcome Ms. Maribi Mapa Garcia.
MARIBI GARCIA (MG): We have primary relics here. Portion of Father Pio's clover that he used to use for healing and we have the other one is a part of the body of St. Therese, the little flower. So they would be bringing them and you let those relics touch the part that needs to be healed; and St. Therese and Father Pio, who are healing saints, will be interceding for you. They will be going around and you touch the relic, and let the relic touch your body; that area that needs healing. And they will be giving you healing oil in your palm and your thumb, and you put a cross on the areas that you'd like the Lord to touch. So before we start, we will have a song to keep a song to keep our spirits still. We have one song. So in the name of the… this will be all a prayer. In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. We surrender this session to you Lord. Let your will be done.
(playing a song)
Loving father, let your loving presence dwell in me this day, and all the days of my life. Take over my entire being, protect me from all evil and danger, and deliver me from all sins that would separate me from you. Lord, let me love and live in Your divine will and presence, each moment of my life, that may I see only with Your eyes, hear only with Your ears, think only with Your thoughts, speak only with Your lips, touch only with Your heart and in all things I may bring glory, honor and praise to you my Lord, my God, my everything. I pray this in the name of Jesus through Mary and all the angels and saints. Amen.
Loving Father, I come before You now, trusting in Your goodness, Your kindness and the power of Your healing love. As I lift up to You my sickness, heal me, Lord, of my cancer. Lord, You know all things, You can do all things and I know You love me very much. Root out all the hurts embedded in my subconscious through the years. Deliver me from dwelling on self-pity, on my fear, anxieties, hopelessness, and all negative thoughts. Give me the grace, Lord, to offer all my pains and sufferings, to lead me closer to You, to pray for other suffering people like me, especially those with no one to support them or pray for them. Lord, help me to see the blessings out of each trial, to realize each victory, every tear that I have shed, to see your guiding hand and feel your loving presence in everything that is happening to me now, confident that You are totally in control. Help me to learn lessons from all my mistakes of the past and work on changes in my life and in my way of living. You, Lord, are my Healer. You are my Refuge. You are my Strength. You're the source of all my comfort and consolations, and then, Dearest Lord, after I have been healed in Your own terms, in Your own way, which is the best way for me, may my Life be a witness to Your love, Your peace and healing power for others, and bring Glory and Honor, and praise to You. In the name Jesus, through the powerful intercession of Mary, through Saint Padre Pio to St. Therese, the little flower and all the angels and saints. Amen.
