cancaonova.com  invited Father Márlon Múcio, founder of the Sede Santos [Be Holy] mission, who will be present in the Healing and Deliverance retreat to help us understand the response. He tells us: “I do not doubt that most common walls of today are those that raise up among persons, overall, inside of the family and between the person and God.
Some could say that they are walls of unemployment, of financial difficulty, of illness such as depression, stress…Yes, with certainty these too! But the most terrible, are those whose foundation is sin, division, selfishness, remoteness and closing off between people and between them and God.”

Father Márlon affirms that it is necessary to have courage, to take down such obstacles. “If a family has more walls in their home than the walls separating the rooms of the house, how can it cope with daily difficulties. If a person has barriers within himself, caused by the  life of  sin, of shut off to grace, how can he take them down? The truth this: there are many walls inside of us than outside of us, And the exterior walls begin to fall when we have courage to take down the interior ones.”

Asking still on the importance of working for healing and deliverance in these cases, the priest says that “In all occasions, always there will  be the need of working healing and deliverance. The Salvific ministry of Christ is to bring life in fullness for all of us. The more healed and liberated we are, the more open to grace of redemption we will be. . . Not wanting to be healed, not wanting to be delivered already is a great barrier that can impede  us from a blessed life and of a life in grace.”
