JESUS THE HEALER. This is an Unforgettable experience of healing presented by the FRANCISCAN MYSTERY PLAYERS. Through the use of special lighting and sound, this moving dramatic meditation promises to be a high point in our Parish’s spiritual journey. Because of the intensity of the subject matter of suffering and death, it may not be recommended for children. We strongly encourage all our ADULTS and TEENS to attend this unique and prayerful presentation on Friday, March 29th, 2019 at 7:30 PM. Don’t Miss this!!
“JESUS THE HEALER” is a dramatic multi-media presentation of the Passion and Death of the Lord and healing events in His life. It will be offered in several area churches during the Lenten Season by the Franciscan Mystery Players from Our Lady of Hope Parish in Blackwood, NJ. Written and directed by Father Francis Pompei, ofm, a Franciscan Friar from Holy Name Province, and Team member of St. Francis Inn soup kitchen, Philadelphia, the Mystery Players are made up of 15 teenagers and 6 adults. The performances will be in the tradition of the medieval Mystery Plays that were frequently sponsored by Franciscans who advocated popularizing scriptural events.
“JESUS THE HEALER” calls for no speaking parts. Through the use of special lighting, inspirational music, drama, and soul-searching medications, a person is able to get in touch with themselves, their goodness, struggles and their sins. Then, in a very unique way it becomes a prayerful vehicle for the Lord’s spirit to Forgive, Renew and especially Heal.
It is the kind of event that one can experience over and over again and always walk away with something new each time.
