Saints As Living Members Of Christ
- Saints are members of the mystical Body of Christ and thus represent Christ himself in a mysterious way.
- Relics carry that presence so contact can make God's power palpably felt against sickness and demonic influence.
Chance Meeting in Rome Sparked Ministry
- Fr. Carlos recounts finding relics through a chance Vatican contact while on pilgrimage in Rome one year after his conversion.
- That encounter led to him receiving 25 saints and launching his long-term relic ministry.
Touch As The Vehicle Of Relics' Power
- Touch is repeatedly presented in scripture as the vehicle through which relics bring healing and liberation.
