healing service at the University chapel of the Sacred Heart .
There will be

Closed type of healing mass in the past
The closed
type of healing masses with the intention of the healing were offered monthly
(once in a month) by the turn of the priests at various chapels without
attendants till May, 2023.
The
priests in charge :
Fr. Masatoshi Kodaira (O.F.M.) till he
returned to the heaven. ,
Fr. Pawel
Janocihski (O.P.),
Fr. Kinji Kawamura (Tokyo Archdiocese),
Fr. Hiromasa Akamatsu (S.J.) etc.
One
of these priests offered closed mass in turn once in a month. (The list mentioned above did not
express the turn.)
The intention of the healing mass
in closed type:
For the healing of those who have
been included in the intention of the past healing masses of open type and
those whose wish to attend open mass if there were open mass and pray for the
grace of healing by Lord Jesus where they stay when they are convenient to pray
in union with the closed type healing mass spiritually.
The
closed mass is offered with the intention of the healing for those who wish to
attend if open mass were offered once in a month by the priests in turn at the
chapel etc. where each priest is convenient for closed mass then.
That is, no one could not attend closed mass then.
Could you
pray for your intention for healing and the grace of the healing for your
intention and for those whom are included in the intention of closed healing
mass at your home
or at the place where you are ?
The omnipotent God knows your intention, so you need
not worry about if you already wrote the intention on the card before Feb.9,
2020 or not. Merciful Lord Jesus, our Healer, can heal you even if you cannot
attend open mass. (One
need to repent the sin, and Catholic need to pray the spiritual Communion.)
