Seriously? What planet are you on? I am a Catholic too. I don't know ANYONE who has proclaimed such a blatant distortion of my religion. You make it seem like some revival thing where people are in a tent and falling down and being 'saved'. Sure, what ever works for you...but Jesus saves/heals your soul. Putting your trust in Him to make good choices to save your soul to meet him after your soul leaves your earthly body. But in no way is a proclamation made that drugs hurt. If you think that Christ is 'phsyically present' at these Eucharistic Adorations, HEELLLOOOO. Christ is present at all times, within us at all times. So unless He is walking around and having coffee with you, please. Enough. Then you need to contact the Vatican. I see my sister, in a hospital,with MS, unable to move, barely able to speak,her hands look like claws because therapy has stopped working. She doesn't have faith and I don't blame her at all. It is an evil and embarrassing disease. It is hard for her to watch her 83 year old mother visit her every day and feed her and wipe the drool from her mouth. HOWEVER, our mother, a devout woman,is a true mother. She has often told me that the reason God keeps her healthy is to take care of her. Illnesses like this are tragic and a peaceful and loving God doing this is easily questioned. Unless you look at it as my sister's suffering has taught the rest of the family to bond,kept an 83 year old woman active mentally and physically,another sister prompted to just get her nursing degree, elicit a new compassion and outlook. But telling others that neurological drugs hurt you and Jesus is the ultimate in healers is selfish. Each person needs to find their own way and method and let the people who have M.D. after their names and their own families to assist them. If your response was legit, how come there are tons of people still with MS and many other diseases and you are recruiting over the internet? If your warped logic were true, swarms of people would be banging at the door and no one would be suffering. My grandmother used to tell me when I was little 'Don't do that, God will punish you!' until I started CCD classes and I told her one day that ours is a forgiving God,not a punishing God. For those people who have lost faith, it is understandable. You don't have to believe in God, but believe in something. I told a friend of mine the other day who told me she now is a Buddhist that I  care if she prays to a kitchen sink as long as she believes in some higher power. Believe that something is out there that is stronger than yourself and it helps ease the feeling of such helplessness and stress of the 'why's'. No one has the answers to why things happen, no one deserves these. I don't think God is upstairs with a book checking off which people deserve things. If that's the case, explain why drug dealers to kids, rapists,murderers,child abusers are healthy as horses. Those who haven't committed sins are crumbling left and right. Did God already give up on them? He's not going to waste his time giving them awful drooling and painful diseases? They are the ones who should be suffering. But faith is tried by those who believe. But man does not live by faith alone. We were given free will. That is what everyone should know. Choose wisely. Choose what works for you. God may not be your answer. Some people eat Hershey bars if they are upset, some go to choice. FREE WILL. Everyone deserves help. advice, shoulders to lean on, support, but attempting to sway all to your belief is insane. Why not walk over to a temple and try and tell the Jews that they are doing it wrong too? But you are so in the wrong. People can feel LOVE through their disease. My sister can feel the love of her family that now surrounds her. I pray for her daily, sometimes to end her pain,sometimes to give my mom the strength she needs to deal. Giving up on the medical field is losing faith as well. If God is the Master Physician as you say, he has made delegates on earth. DUH. Men and women who have dedicated their adult lives to researching and treating those who are sick. Your faith is so limited. Faith in God,honey, means faith in others,BECAUSE IF YOU ARE THAT DEVOUT OF A CATHOLIC YOU WOULD KNOW GOD IS EVERYWHERE. FROM TREES TO DOGS TO BABIES TO THE KIDS WITH ADHD AND THE CEO'S OF COMPANIES. To all of you atheists, have faith. In your doctors, or your families,or in your mental state of mind that just because you have MS or any disease, you are no less of a person. You are still 'you'. I have epilepsy yet I don't define myself with it. I am a person,a beautiful person with a phenomenal husband,2 super kids, a house and a dog. I am lucky and so are they. I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers and tons of nieces and nephews and I adore each and every one of them as individuals and I don't shove my beliefs down their throats. I love them for them, accept them,welcome them, cherish them. I enjoy their individuality and respect them and they know they can rely on me and talk to me and I don't judge. So we all need to just research our illnesses but first let go of the anger of why we have it. Then move forward into not necessarily healing, but maintaining levels we are at and slowing progression. Or at least come to the realization that we all are going to die of something. Strokes,cardiac arrest, kidney failure,car accidents,murders,even bee stings.
