Parresia: A Quality To Perform Miracles

Sister Briege McKenna, OSC, a nun with the gift of healing

Athanasius comments: "For Antony (St. Antony of the Desert) did not heal by issuing commands, but by praying and calling upon the name of Christ, so that it was evident to everyone that it was not he who did this, but the Lord manifesting his compassion to men and, through Anthony, was healing those who suffered." (Matthew 17:19 and John 16:23-24)
