Dear listeners of our daily meditations,
Today I want to break the usual pattern and report of our just finished mission in Mexico and the USA. We know that many people pray for us and thus actively accompany our journey and are very grateful for it. Knowing that people are behind our mission is immensely valuable to us. That’s why we want to inform them shortly what we are doing.
Joel 4, 12-21
Let the nations rouse themselves and march to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I shall sit in judgement on all the nations around. Ply the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come and tread, for the winepress is full; the vats are overflowing, so great is their wickedness!’ Multitude on multitude in the Valley of Decision! For the Day of Yahweh is near in the Valley of the Verdict!
I do not want to conclude these reflections on the way of healing the soul before I address a subject that I deal with in more detail in retreats. It is the way of healing the subconcious. It can only be shortened in the frame of the meditations, but for the sake of its importance, it should be explained briefly.
The Lord is the Saviour of all man, that is, his healing love is to penetrate us to the last depths of our soul.
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.
From the circle of those who hear the meditations, questions keep coming up on various topics. If these questions are of general interest, then I have scheduled the last two days of the month to answer them. Today this is a question which is quite comprehensive and which I am only able to answer incompletely in this context.
