When we now deal with the last sections of this subject, I am aware that there are many other aspects that God offers and for the healing and strengthening of our souls.
With this theme, I wanted to show that as Catholics we know an authentic way in which our soul, wounded by original sin and personal sins, is raised by God. If we follow Him constantly, our souls will heal more and more and be penetrated by God’s Spirit.
The possibilities offered by the Lord on our path of following Christ in order to heal our souls more and more are a lot. The path of sanctification to which we are called wants to lead us into complete communion with God, which will be finished in eternity. When our wounded soul is totally healed and transformed, there is nothing left to separate us from God. We are fully united with Him in love and we see God as he is. This is what we will experience in the community with the Angels and all those people who are in the glory of heaven. Man fulfills his eternal destiny.
With the faith, the healing word of God, the forgiveness of sins and the healing power of the sacraments, man is increasingly called out of his lostness into the proximity of God, and Gods healing and strengthening presence in the soul of man unfold the new life of God in him. This new life, which now re-creates the image of God in man, needs daily food so that it can grow and mature. God gives us this food in the ways we have already considered and it is nourished in particular by a life of prayer.
Faith restores our true connection with God, he is nourished by the Word of God, which gives us the light of truth ever more deeply and raises us up. In the forgiveness of sins, God opens his heart wide for us and we experience his unspeakable mercy.
Through the gift of faith, the true transcendent destiny of man is reawakened. The Word of God nourishes him daily, enlightens his mind, and expels the darkness of ignorance and error.
Yesterday we took a look at the beginning of a healing process that starts with the true faith. With the gift of faith as our answer to God’s love and search for us, the transcendent destiny of our lives finds its way: a conscious relationship with God is now restored and the life of God can be communicated to us.
Spiritual Healing through God – Part 1
Today we leave for a few days the usual course of the interpretations of the Holy Scriptures Writing and I use a theme which I have raised twice in the mission.
The topic of healing seems important to me especially in these times because a lot of people are looking for healing and often use questionable methods for it.
St. Hildegard von Bingen
Wis 8:1-6
Strongly she reaches from one end of the world to the other and she governs the whole world for its good. Wisdom I loved and searched for from my youth; I resolved to have her as my bride, I fell in love with her beauty. She enhances her noble birth by sharing God’s life, for the Master of All has always loved her. Indeed, she shares the secrets of God’s knowledge, and she chooses what he will do. If in this life wealth is a desirable possession, what is more wealthy than Wisdom whose work is everywhere? Or if it be the intellect that is at work, who, more than she, designs whatever exists?
St. Cornelius und Cyprian
Joh 17:6a.11b-19
I have revealed your name to those whom you took from the world to give me. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.
Ex 32:7–11.13–14
Yahweh then said to Moses, ‘Go down at once, for your people whom you brought here from Egypt have become corrupt. They have quickly left the way which I ordered them to follow. They have cast themselves a metal calf, worshipped it and offered sacrifice to it, shouting, “Israel, here is your God who brought you here from Egypt!”
