“MAN OF MIRACLES”
Oil Painting of Father Rookey, by Andre Durand
From the first healing in Benburb, County Tyrone (where he helped found the Servite order in Ireland in 1948) to the present day, Father Rookey’s ministry has taken him from his native USA to countries all over the world. Wherever he goes, thousands flock to this man of miracles. The stories of many of the remarkable healings and exorcisms that have occurred, are told here. And from it all emerges a portrait of a great and humble man, known to the world as ‘the healing priest’ who, when asked about his ‘gift’, says simply: ‘It is God’s work, not mine- He does all the healing, I just pray…’ ( Heather Parsons – Author ‘Man of Miracles)
