With decades of service as both a teacher of, and practitioner in, the healing ministry, Father Richard McAlear has a different approach that recognizes even embraces the complex nature of pain.

A cluster of emotions anger, anxiety, fear, hate, negative self-image, resentment, and self-pity affect our health. Therefore, a healing ministry must be handled in such a way that emotions and psychological factors are addressed with care and sensitivity.

It must also embrace the vast beauty and power and depth of our Catholic Faith, keeping it:

Christ-centered deeply rooted in the person and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Scriptural utilizing the insights offered by Scripture to delve into the Holy Spirit's role in the work of healing.

Holistic exploring the interplay and connections between the mental, spiritual, and physical dimensions relating to healing and health.
