Fr. Mike Scanlan is my spiritual director and I had my first meeting with him yesterday. Fr. Mike is such an incredible and holy man...He's going to be a saint when he dies, I'm not even kidding you. He was really tight with JP II, has done massive amounts of healings, has written a bunch of books was the president of Franciscan from 1974-2000, and can read souls like St. Padre Pio. During our meeting yesterday, he totally read my soul. People told me before I got here that when Fr. Mike looks into your eyes, it's like he's looking into your soul...It's so true. Yesterday, when he looked into my eyes, I like couldn't look away. Then he started asking me questions totally pertinent to my life. He was like "What are you struggling with? That's what brought you here, isn't it?" I was blown away. Then he asked me, "Why won't you accept God's love?" and I was speechless. I asked him, "Fr. Mike, how in the world do you know this stuff?" and he just smiled and said, "I just know." So we talked for a while and then he prayed over me. He prayed an absolutely beautiful blessing over me and when he was finished, he said with a big smile on his face, "Get up and give me a big hug!" So yes, I can say I hugged a saint! :) He had me buy the book "I Believe in Love" which is apparently incredible and has done wonders for people here on campus. I'm meeting with him again in 2 weeks and I cannot wait!
It's day 20...10 days away!
