on the Companions of the Cross priest, Fr. Fernando Suarez:In Perspective
While I respect prayer for the sick, and I believe in miracles and healing and give him credit for his emphasis on Jesus being the healer, I worry when I read about people being 'slain in the Spirit'. I don't doubt that that happens occasionally, but I worry that we're picking up some of the more sensational aspects of Pentecostal Christianity along with the stuff that we've been missing all these years. Then it becomes more of sideshow or hysteria...

Just yesterday I emailed a friend pointing out this very same thing--how Suarez has picked up the "resting in the spirit" gimmick/stunt from US faith healers. I chuckled the first time I saw it in one of Suarez's youtube videos. Wonder why he's included the theatrics in his shamanistic act.
