If you would go to Ezine Articles on this page and click the article "The Healing Power of Holy Water Part II." you will find the latest on the amazing power of holy water. In the article are three different events totally unrelated, and yet the common factor is holy water.
I have shown the viewers of this blog, that holy water has the power to heal. In Part II, I discuss the details of three events. One is a healing, the second is an event of incredible dimensions, and the third is a blessing of a ship. Nothing unusual about the ship, but if you can imagine that the two owners are avowed atheists, and the only way to convince them is with scientific proof, then holy water is not for them.
Nevertheless, one of the owners asked me to bless his very large cargo ship, and I did. Read "The Healing Power... Part II" to see the results for yourself.
As you get more familiar with the uses of holy water for you and your family and friends, give holy water a chance to do its thing. Should you have someone ailing in your family, and you have tried everything, including taking all medical avenues, please resort to holy water for a test of faith. Should you lack faith, like I did at one time, then go on belief, and faith will follow! That I know, for I am the author of the articles and the beneficiary of the healing power of holy water. I had no faith in its power at the beginning of my trials with it, but in time I gained total belief, and faith became my strength.
Get a small container of holy water from your local church, and begin the process of helping yourself, your loved ones and friends that need healing and blessings to receive the amazing power of this water as soon as possible. Don't hesitate to believe in it, anymore than to feel embarrassed by the ritual of sprinkling the water over someone else, including yourself.
If you would be so kind to keep me posted on all progress regarding the use of holy water, please reach me on my email address with your information. It will be highly appreciated.

Prayer Stand—Suggested words of introduction for your daily prayers
The most important thing to remember before you present your petitions to God, is to be clear in the 'direction' that you wish for your prayers to take. In other words, you are asking God to listen to your request for a good reason. I will suggest some ways of making your introductions that have helped me for many years. Afterwards, you may say your prayers in accordance with your religion.
Other times, you simply want to thank God and nothing else is required. I have made some suggestions on words of gratitude that you can certainly use.
We all go through moments of anxiety; distress; dangerous conditions; loneliness; sickness; and, many other very delicate situations. God is not far away to listen to you and me; and by allowing us to ask Him to help us, that avenue became one of His greatest gifts. Jesus Christ reminded us of that gift while he lived on Earth. All you have to do is to ask God with a sincere and humble heart to help you at your moment of need. He can't refuse you! Just a word of advise though, selfish, frivolous and silly requests will probably go unanswered. For your benefit, please LET YOUR PRAYERS BE STRONG!
Suggested ways to ask for help and other requests
"I need your help with my health dear Lord, please listen to me."
"Dear God, I am desperate and need financial help to pay my bills, please listen to my prayers."
"Dear God, I need help in my marriage to make it better, please help us."
"Dear Lord, (my son, my daughter) are in trouble and they need your help."
"Dear God, I am totally lost, and I just don't know what to do anymore, or where to go. I need your help!"
"Dear Lord, I am in deep trouble (state your situation here by clarifying), and I need your urgent help."
"Forgive me Lord if I don't believe in you, and I haven't for most of my life, but I need you right now to come to my rescue. Help me to believe in you."
"My (son, daughter, dad, mom, aunt, uncle, friend) is very ill dear Lord, and I am asking for your help. You can do it! Please listen to my request to heal them."
"Give me strength dear Lord so that I don't stray away from you, and let me receive your protection against all evil."
Suggested words of gratitude
"Dear God, thank you so much for this day and for my family."
"Thank you dear Lord for answering my prayers."
"Thank you dear God for my health, and that of my loved ones."
"Dear God, I am grateful for all that you do for me, and please forgive me if I don't thank you enough."
"Dear Lord, I have made my request to you from my heart, and it is your will not mine that will determine the outcome of my petition. I just want to thank you in advance."
"I am grateful dear Lord for my life, my loved ones, my friends, my colleagues at work, and for my job."
"Dear God, if you should help me to get the job that I want, I will be forever grateful."
"I thank you in advance dear God for protecting my loved ones every single day."
"Dear Lord, (name your loved one or a friend) is going on a trip. I am asking you to please give them a safe trip, and protect them while they are away ."
I will be more than honored if you allow me to pray for you and family members. You may also want to share my blog and email address at: http://www.prayer-be-strong.blogspot.com/ and my email address at: tonymcclr@gmail.com. My only request is that you don't spam, and I will respect your request and email address.

Holy Water—To Bless Someone Far Away
Awhile back I wanted to find a way to bless my family members and friends with holy water, especially if they lived far away.
There were several ways to accomplish this: 1) send them a small bottle of holy water, and have them apply it by wetting their fingers with it and perform the sign of the cross on their face and shoulders. I figured that they would follow this simple ritual of blessing at least once a day. However, I found out that people forget to follow-up on it on a regular basis.
I thought about it, and I discovered a better way to fulfill the same objective. The best method came to me one morning while I was looking at photos of my family on my laptop.
This method proved just as effective, and perhaps more consistent: 2) Once a day, or more if necessary, open their photo on your laptop screen. Have a small bottle of holy water handy near your computer, and wet your index finger tip with the water. Now, go to the photo of your loved one and perform the sign of the cross on their face. Nothing will happen to the screen, so don't worry, and everything good to the person getting the blessing. To bless your friends is divine, so don't hesitate to include them also.
If you don't have a computer, take a photo of your loved one(s) preferably framed; or, the alternative is to take a photo print and cover it in plastic. Then you can bless them with holy water as many times as you wish. I recommend that you do it at least once a day.
The blessing is your gift to them. It is a kindness of immense value, and said blessing is just as effective as if they were present with you.
As you make the sign of the cross on their photo, or if digital on the screen, you may want to say something like this, "God, please: protect; guide; heal; take care of (name the person(s) on the photo) and I thank You very much for that." Use whatever words are appropriate for you. I just gave you an idea.
Remember, it is in the sincere and honest intention of your blessing, together with holy water, that the recipient will benefit the most. At the beginning, your belief in the ritual is what is going to work, not so much your faith. Your faith will grow in time, as you see results happening right in front of your eyes.

Holy Water - Recommended Ways to Apply It
You may have read by now a couple of my articles on the subject of prayer and holy water that I recommended. Now, I am going to show you how to apply holy water for you and your loved ones.
In my articles, I mentioned that whenever I needed to apply holy water to any of my 'biking- related-injuries,' I took holy water in my fingers and rubbed it right on the part of my body that was injured and painful. For example, if my shoulder ached, I put holy water right on it. Beforehand, I would say these words, "Thank you Lord for taking the pain away."
Today, if I get a bad headache, such as a migraine which I get on rare occasions, I touch the temples with my fingers wet with holy water, and I say the same words of thanks. I have noticed that in these cases, holy water works quite fast to relieve my pain in less than an hour. Most of my headaches are minor and stress-related. I just take a couple of ibuprofen to relieve the pain, and I find it is sufficient in these instances.
Holy water is not meant to be drunk. Perhaps if I have a serious stomach ache, or a bad internal problem, I will certainly take a sip from the bottle of holy water that I keep at home.
Should your bones be aching from arthritis, please use holy water to rub over the area. I will add, that I have never had any serious pain from injuries go away instantly just because I rubbed holy water, but in time it always has. How much time did it take to take effect? Most every time, it has taken one to two weeks—in my cases anyway. Hopefully you get speedier results, but results you will eventually get.
You have another method that I will recommend for you that worked on my sister who was bed-ridden and unable to speak comprehensively for almost two years. Today, she is 81-years-old and speaking quite well; thanks to holy water which was sprinkled on her head over a period of a few weeks.
If you should have a loved one that is seriously ill, sprinkle holy water over their heads, but first, please say a prayer of thanks. Do not expect a miracle to occur instantly, but in time you will see results. Believe for now, and faith will follow.
I must remind you that holy water should be used in addition to acquiring good medical help for all your serious needs and those of your loved ones. I am a firm believer that they go hand-in-hand.
You probably have questions about the use of holy water, and I have made myself available to respond. Please feel free to ask, and I will try to provide answers where I can. My email address is tonymcclr@gmail.com. Your email address is your property, and it will be kept in strict confidence.
God bless, and may you find holy water as miraculous for you as it has been for me.

Holy Water
If you read my article, "The Healing Power of Holy Water" on Ezinearticles.com, you will notice that my conclusion was that in spite of faith, holy water has the power to heal.
I had no faith in holy water before I started using it for my 'mountain-biking injuries', and yet, it still worked for me. It will also work for you! You just have to try it as detailed in my story.
I will make holy water available to anyone who makes a request. I will get it from the same church where I attend Mass, and has the holy water that I described in my article. You can also go to any catholic church in your part of the world, and pick up holy water in a small container and take it home with you.
If you have a loved one in a hospital, and you would like to pour the water on their head for blessings and healing, please do so. Say your own prayer before proceeding, and thank the Lord for his help. You may also say a prayer of blessing for the doctors and nurses taking care of your loved one.
Should you want me to get holy water from my church for you and send it to your home address, I will be happy to do so. I only ask for a small donation to take care of the shipping and handling of the small bottle container with the holy water.
If you would please read my article before making any requests, I will very much appreciate it. You are welcome to contact me on my email address at: tonymcclr@gmail.com. You may have to copy the address and paste it to your email server, which may be msn, google, yahoo or any other, if this link doesn't work for you.
God bless you , and may your life be filled with joy and happiness.

Prayer Stand
Prayer has been considered the one element in life with the strongest degree of communicating power to reach the divine. It is the intent of Prayer Stand to have a mature person to provide prayers on a daily basis for all those that would like someone to pray for them, or for the needs of their loved ones; regardless of their past and present beliefs, religion and faith.
All requests will be considered in a morning prayer session composed of ten "Our Father" and ten "Hail Mary." There will be an introductory prayer to cover all petitions for the day, and then I will proceed to pray to God.
Should there be a special appeal, or perhaps an urgency for any particular case, and you wish for me to pray for you personally or your loved one, I will do so.
On Thursday mornings, I am responsible for opening the church where I attend Mass. My job is to prepare the Chapel. I also serve the priest as sacristan. All requests submitted for any special needs and received through Wednesday night, will be submitted to the Virgin Mary for her intercession at exactly 6 am and before any parishioners come in for the 7 am Mass.
My prayers are my thanks to God for all that He has done for me throughout the years. I am grateful for my health and my family. That is my reward, and I want to share my blessings by praying for you and your loved ones. Please allow me to do that, for it will be a privilige and an honor.
Please read my articles which I have published in Ezinearticles.com regarding "The Incredible Power of Prayer..." and "The Healing Power of Holy Water" which are available for your perusal on this page (see upper right under the title Ezine Articles and click on the article). The articles will be of great help for you to become familiar with the author who will be praying for you.
May God bless you with love, health and a life filled with happiness and joy. You are more than welcome to send via email my blog site address noted below my name to all your friends and family who may be in need of a strong prayer.
