Intercessory Prayer and the Communion of Saints: Mennonite and Catholic Perspectives (Bridgefolk Series)

This extraordinary volume collects the presentations from two colloquia on the healing of Jun Yamada, a young Japanese Mennonite who was close to death in the late 1980s.

The Vatican study acknowledged that the miracle had taken place, leading Pope John Paul II to canonize St.

Freinademetz in 2003.

Readers will benefit greatly from the personal and theological reflections of Nozomu Yamada, brother of Jun, and Alfonso Fausone, S.V.D., who initiated the intercessions for Jun.

This volume is a testament to the power of prayer and the communion of saints, inspiring ongoing ecumenical friendships, dialogues, and engagements between Mennonite and Catholics.
