        “As a lay Carmelite and medical doctor directly involved in spiritual warfare, I helped save numerous lives from disease, disability, demons, and death. I also                 help save souls by assisting our priests, who are the spiritual doctors of our soul. In union with our priests and our Church, I help bridge the gap of faith and               reason for regular everyday life so LOVE and MERCY can cross over to hearts and minds. I am a lay emissary to re-evangelize people so they can go back to the           Catholic Church, our spiritual hospital, and experience more fully the saving medicine of God from the Divine Physician Himself and from his priests, through               the sacraments and sacramentals.” -Dr. Antone Raymundo
