Relationships

From the October 1,  2006 Newsletter:

[Daughter/Mother]
From Eileen: “Thank you for the healing through Jesus…I haven’t had any nightmares. The flashbacks are very few now. I have forgiven my mother...God Bless you.”

[Marriage]
IL: Father went to see a couple who just asked for prayer. Father did this, and the Holy Spirit revealed to him that the couple was having many negative issues in their marriage. As Father prayed, the couple then began to realize this and resolved to work on these issues. They told him they immediately both together felt overwhelming relief from this stress. In gratitude, the husband then arranged to provide transportation for Father the next day as he went to pray for a woman who was starting chemotherapy in another county.

TX: Grandparents are very concerned about their 14 yr. old granddaughter who has become interested in the occult. After prayer with Father Fontana and Karl, it was revealed that she is seeking identity and power after the conflicting unresolved feelings she has because of the divorce of her parents. The prayers have given her grandparents the strength to intervene.

[Friendship/Loss]
IL: “I want to let you know how much I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to call me….Well, a miracle happened, the biggest and most profound miracle I have ever witnessed. My wonderful, courageous and blessed friend died Oct. 18….I believed a miracle would happen. It wasn’t the one I was hoping for but I know in my heart it was from God. I was with Liz the day she died. I remember telling her that she would be so happy very soon when she sees God. At the moment of her death I felt complete joy and happiness for her. I did not cry because I was so happy for her. My reaction startled me because I had been so sad and depressed for two months dreading this day. I believe that was my second miracle. …I left for a while and when I went back, she was still in bed but her face was completely different from a half hour ago. She had the most beautiful smile on her face and her eyes were still open, her face looked like an angel’s face. I could not believe it. I gasped when I saw her, it was complete peace. By the look on her face I knew she had seen the face of God. I also know God gave me that miracle. …All of the sudden the sun pours in the window and shines only on her beautiful, smiling face. The whole experience was a profound blessing for me and I feel I have more trust in God than ever before. Thank you so much for helping me to have hope and to believe in miracles….”

[Family]
(From Editor) We have an account from a woman who contacted us about the relationship between her, her brother and the rest of his family. I don’t have the letter before me as I write this since I am away on vacation. However, the letter says in part that she went before Father Fontana at a healing service for help with her alcoholic brother whom she had not spoken to in many weeks. After about a week after the service, her brother called her and said he felt his drinking was becoming a problem, and hurting the relationship with her and mostly with his wife and small children. He asked for the phone number of a relative, a retired professional counselor who had experience in alcoholic rehabilitation. She praised and thanked the Lord for this.

From the April 2006 Newsletter:

[Father/Daughter]
From Mary…”I had been out of touch with my father for over 20 years. During that time I would ignore or rationalize any Scripture or homily teachings about honoring one’s parents. My heart was hardened until you said something in your homily that struck me. I was able to make the first move and contact my Dad. Much to my surprise, he responded. I thank God for putting me in the pew that day……”

[Sisters]
Pamela writes…”I asked for healing in the relationship between my sister and myself. She has shunned me for the past year. Five days after attending the healing Mass my sister called and made a luncheon date with me….Praise the Lord!”

[Brother/Sister]
From Susanne…”I want you to know, Father how much good has been bestowed on me from Jesus through you….So many wonderful things have happened since my healing. I was seriously estranged from my only surviving sibling. Jesus took all that away from my heart and I have my brother back…” 

[Multiple Blessings/Marriage]
Mary Ida wrote…(abridged) “My husband was the one that told you he had a stroke four years ago and wanted his singing voice back. You had us go to the main altar. You blessed us. You surprised me when you told me I had a broken heart. All I could think of was him. It choked me up to think you could read that deep into me. We stood and sang the rest of the song in front of the altar. You told my husband to sing all the songs that night. He sings much better and his throat seems clearer. We will be going to choir practice tonight. God bless you!”

[Marriage]
From Pekin…”It is a special gift from God to know Father Glenn Fontana. Two years ago I had a series of panic attacks over a poisonous relationship of 52 years with my mother-in-law. Father Fontana prayed over me through the Holy Spirit for a healing of memories. I found that my bitter memories of her dissipated and I was finally able to feel love for her. My husband and I eventually became her caregivers as we moved her into our home….”

[Friendship]
Green Bay, WI: “I want to thank you once again for taking the time to come and pray with and for my friend Tim. They were so grateful for your being able to come and it helped strengthen their faith in God tremendously. MAY GOD BE PRAISED! ….I went back over with my daughter and taught them how to say the rosary. Tim got up and sat on the couch and prayed the entire rosary with us, which took about 35 minutes because I was explaining about the mysteries and the rosary itself. It was beautiful and I feel so blessed to be in their presence and witness this transformation in their souls…..May God bless you. I will be praying for you and your ministry always….” (signed) Dianne

September 21st, 2003:

[Marriage]
I came to your healing service at Saint Rocco Church, Chicago Heights, Illinois. I have and was very anxious because my husband has a very bad anger towards me for going to prayer groups or spending to much time in church. He would get so upset with me when I would come home around 9:00 p.m. The I heard you say Father Fontana, I have received a word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit. "There is someone here whose spouse becomes angry with them and tries to control them with the anger". "Stand up and claim this word of knowledge"! I stood up and praised God for I knew He was listening to my prayers. Father Fontana you then said "peace will take hold of his heart not anger". When I went home after the healing service my husband greeted men without anger. We have come to a mutual acceptance of each others needs in this matter.
