Yesterday, I began addressing the “healing of the subconscious.” Before delving further into the subject, I would like to quote a verse from Psalm 19: “Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.” (Psalm 19:12). Although, in this case, it refers to faults involving guilt, we can adapt these words and direct them as a request to the Lord: “Deliver me from the chains of which I am unaware. May they not have dominion over me!”

The following example will help us understand what I mean by “healing the subconscious.”

Before moving on to another aspect related to the healing of the soul, which differs somewhat from previous subtopics, I felt it was important to explain the classic healing process through the practice of true Catholic faith.

From the beginning of this series, I have emphasized that true faith is essential for inner healing. By this, I mean that we should avoid resorting to questionable therapies offered in the esoteric realm, and hold fast to the traditional faith within the Church without allowing ourselves to be infected by modernist distortions. Any deviation will have consequences that slow down or prevent inner healing. In the worst case, the wounds of the soul can be exacerbated.

Asceticism: Sentinel of Freedom

As we gradually approach the end of the topic we have been developing over the last few days, I realize there are many other aspects of what God offers us for the healing and strengthening of our souls that we have not discussed.

In this series, I wanted to show that we Catholics have an authentic path through which our souls, wounded by original and personal sin, can be restored by God. If we walk this path with perseverance, our souls will heal more and more, and the Spirit of God will be able to permeate our beings.

As we can see, God offers many ways to heal our souls in following Christ. The path of sanctification, to which we are all called, wants to lead us to total communion with God, which will reach its fullness in eternity.  Once our wounded souls are completely healed and transformed, there will be nothing separating us from God. We will be totally unified with Him in love and experience the beatific vision—we will see Him as He is. We will experience this in communion with the holy angels and all those welcomed into heavenly glory. Then, man will have reached his eternal destination.

Prayer:

Thanks to faith, the Word of God, forgiveness of sins, and the healing power of the sacraments, humanity is rescued from perdition and led toward growing closeness with God. His healing and strengthening presence in the soul causes the new life of God to unfold within it. This new life, which restores the image of God in man, requires daily nourishment to grow and mature. The Lord provides this nourishment to us through the various means we have meditated on over the past few days, and most importantly, through a life of prayer.

St. Teresa of Ávila, a teacher of the interior life, calls prayer “the great dialogue with God.” Through prayer, our soul turns to God and becomes receptive to Him. God Himself calls us to prayer, and the Holy Spirit leads us ever deeper into it.

Holy Mass and Eucharistic Adoration

Faith restores our true relationship with God, and the Word of God nourishes it, granting us ever-deeper insight into the light of truth and shows us the way again and again. Through the forgiveness of sins, God opens the doors of His heart wide to us, allowing us to experience His unspeakable mercy.  By experiencing God’s love through the sacraments of Baptism and Penance, the soul begins to heal from the consequences of having strayed from Him. It no longer lives in darkness and, despite all the struggles it still faces, it has found the way to be receptive to God’s grace and thus welcome His healing goodness. This new life is truly different; it restores man to his original beauty and dignity.

Forgiveness

Thanks to the gift of faith, our awareness of our eternal destiny is awakened. The Word of God nourishes us daily, enlightening our understanding and dispelling the darkness of ignorance and error.

However, for this to take effect in one’s being, one’s sins must be forgiven because they weigh heavily on one’s life and obscure the relationship with God.

Through the death and resurrection of His son, God offers humanity forgiveness for their sins. It is an act of infinite love and mercy in which God takes on the sins of humanity to lift up fallen man.

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.

The emphasis on true faith is especially important, as it is given to us through the Holy Scriptures and the orthodox Magisterium of the Church. This does not mean that elements of the truth cannot exist in other religions. However, they are still interspersed with frequent errors and lack of knowledge of God, so that they do not represent in themselves a valid way of salvation and therefore cannot heal the soul as only the authentic way of faith in Jesus Christ can do. In this way, God calls all people.

Beloved Virgin, how many manifestations of love shine forth in you!

In relation to the Father, we see you as a loving daughter; to the Son you are mother and disciple; to the Holy Spirit you are united in a spousal love.

If already here, in our earthly reality, we are moved by the tender love of a human spouse, and can observe how she blossoms and turns her whole heart and attention to her husband, how much more so is it with you, since your Bridegroom is the Holy Spirit Himself!
