Not only is Sr. Briege's story exciting, but her insights on issues are very helpful.

"Sister Briege Mc Kenna knows that God can do the impossible", is boldly insribed above the title of this book. Still, I was skeptical about a catholic nun who prayed in tongues. Amazingly, so was the nun even though she was instantaneously cured of her rheumatoid arthritis. Yet she resisted God's call at first, despite many confirmations of it, even from strangers; miracles in their own right. She wanted the gift on her terms; an identifiable human trait!
She became a "Sign-post pointing to Jesus Christ" and an instrument of a global, healing ministry in prayer, touching many lives and making a difference to some national leaders in Peru and Brazil, and her co-author, besides. She re-defined healing as "progressive" and miracles as 'instantaneous-happenings'. Both depend solely, on the Almighty - all Sr. Mc Kenna did was pray, have faith and be faitfully, obedient.
Her many catch-phrases are prophetic; eg. "Celebrate faith with faithfulness", "People with faith don't need to see miracles", "Prayer changes us, not God" and "the best way to pray is the way you pray best". I am one of her most recent converts, even though not a catholic and a Christian who prays in english (not tongues). Your prayers, found their mark, in me. Thank you Briege Mc Kenna.

Very easy to read! Mar 15, 2010
I have read many spiritual books to help feed my poor little soul. In this book Sr. Briege is very down to earth, current and her style of talking is very easy to understand. She gives real life experiences that help us to understand even further. She and Father Scallon just finished up our Lenten retreat and it was very good, inspiring, and motivating. You can tell she does not like anyone to pay her extra attention for any gift she has been given but only points us to Jesus. She reminds us of what we have in our Catholic Church/Faith and that Jesus is a REAL PERSON in the Eucharist. We have passed this on to our Catholic friends and family that would normally not read a spiritual book and they too mentioned how good it was and easy to understand.
Everyone wants a miracle! Feb 04, 2010
If "Star Wars" Jedi Master Yoda were to meet Sister Briege McKenna, he might acknowledge that the "Force" (of God) is strong within her!
JESUS comes alive through Sister Briege McKenna!
This inspiring read reminds us of the the power of faith and belief in Jesus, prayer and the efficacy of Catholic sacraments, especially that of the Holy Eucharist.
While non-Catholic spiritual healers like to steal the media limelight to rake in big money for themselves, this humble Catholic nun recognizes that all healing coming through her is from God/Jesus and she gives Jesus where credit is due. She acknowledges that she is nothing without God. She is but a signpost to Jesus. It is Jesus who heals through her. See that incarnational aspect of Catholicism here? Just like the sacraments, they're transmitters of God's healing graces and power.
This book tells of Sister Briege's humble beginnings. Entering the convent at the age of 15, she consecrated her life to Jesus as a religious nun. After her miraculous healing of arthiritis, she grew even more closer to Jesus and found herself having the gift of healing. At first, she didn't want to acknowledge her gift and wanted very much not to be in the spotlight of anything. Calling her out of her reclusive lifestyle, Jesus sent many unrelated people to her, even non-Catholic sensitives who told her of her gift. Still Sister Briege had her initial doubts and was mislead to seek counsel by a "group of ladies" (there you go again, the first Eve in the Garden always seeking entertainment from the forbidden) who were seeking prophesy from a false prophet who turned out to be an agent of the evil one. The false prophet tried his bag of terrorist tricks but the power of Jesus was stronger. That was her lesson to learn and she started listening to good holy counsel after that incident.
After being met with many "coincidences" and unrelated people who told her of her healing gift and that she has to minister to others who need healing, Sister Briege embarked on a more rigorous prayer life, spending 2-3 hours every day before the Blessed Sacrament to adore Jesus and seek spiritual direction. Her healing ministry was blast off by people who needed healing and got healed.
Through Sister Briege, Jesus healed:
(1) Paralysis
(2) Blindness
(3) Cancer
(4) Tumors
etc.
In this book, what you will read include:
(1) Sister Briege's bio: journey, thoughts, reflections, divine inspiration.
(2) Miraculous healings.
(3) Testimonies of initial skeptics.
(4) Efficacy of Catholic sacraments, in particular Holy Orders and the Eucharist.
(5) Stories of faith and hope.
Through the many healings and various patients that came to her, Sister Briege cautions that inner spiritual healing and a prayerful life consecrated to God are more important than any physical outward healing sign that people often ask of her. Not all who come to her will be healed since God doesn't will it. Inner conversions are necessary. Some outward physical ailments are caused by sickness of the soul.
All in all, this marvelous testimony is a good reminder of the power of JESUS working through time, through the sacraments and through a prayerful person like Sister Briege.
God bless Sister Briege!
