simple words, we could say that we pray for some-

thing that is ours, i.e, that belongs to us by law, but we have somehow lost and have not regained it again. We

havn’t started using what belongs to us. Let’s now take

a look at the valid documents which prove our owner-

ship over the health we are asking for:

Surely he has borne our infirmities

and carried our diseases;,

Yet we accounted him stricken,

Struck down by God and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions

crushed for our iniquities

Upon him was the punishment

that made us whole

And by his bruises

We are healed

And we like sheep have gone astray;

we have all turned our own way

And the LORD has laid on him

The iniquity of us all. (Is 53.4-6)

He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross,

so that, free from sins, we might live for right-

eousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

(1 Pet 2:24)

The ‘truth’ that, Jesus has liberated us from every

disease on the cross, - namely - that He has given us

health instead of any disease, was expressed by God

through the lips of the prophet Isaiah many centuries

before the birth of Jesus Christ. The apostle Peter, the Vicar of Christ on earth, confirms it after Jesus’ ascension and the foundation of the Church. If you look a

little bit closer at the lines written by Isaiah, you will notice that he speaks in the past tense, that is, about

the things that have already happened. And so, he says

that Jesus already bore our diseases, that he endured

our pain, and that His wounds are those by which

we were healed from any disease, no matter what it

is called or what medicine has to say about it. He al-

ready did that for us on the cross, and, as the synod in Quiercy says: “There is no man, nor was, nor will be, for whom He did not suffer.” This means that Jesus gave it as a present to you and every other man. Christ gave

this grace as a gift to every man, even the greatest sinner, even the one who does not belong to the Church.

To anyone who would try to tell you that no grace can

be given to those who are outside the Church (whether

they do not belong to it, or they are under excommu-

nication), you just answer that even Pope Clement XI

condemned such an opinion in 1713.. It is a wonderful

revelation that health is at everyone’s disposal, because Jesus explicitly said that He is not biased, that is - that He loves us all with completely the same love. Here

love towards one’s neighbour reaches its peak. How?

Well, you can visit a patient who is seriously ill and

give his health back to him/her, that is, take the health from God’s treasury and give it over to the patient to

get cured. If you really already own that power and feel 110
