Will God Heal My Wounds?

In this video, Fr. Mike encourages us to go to God in our weakest moments. As God answered St. Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Using the life of St. Catherine of Siena as an example, Fr. Mike shows how-when we let God into our brokenness-he can do wonders.
If you like this video, you may also like YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body. In this new program by Ascension, Fr. Mike and several other powerful Catholic speakers present an authentic view of the human person. You can find the study here: shop.ascensionpress.com/t/cate....

Accepting that statement amounts to tolerating the wound and accepting the wound. God can do better: he can just heal the wound simple. Not through or from. Just heal the wound. May be if you explain what you mean, i might see from your perspective.

You can overcome those problems easier than others. How, we need to start trusting God that he will meet our every need.Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Depression? Is often linked to sin. I can't tell you where you are going wrong only you know.

Dear Father Mike, As a survivor of 911 I have much anxiety in my life. In my small group community at church I came to realize that this "gift" of anxiety causes me to depend on others. Through this dependence I feel the love and support of the people around me. I have to put aside the feeling that I must fix everything myself and depend on the people the Lord has sent to me. I have to humble myself. I believe this is what God is teaching me. Thank you for this video that helps me along on this path. God Bless you.

I really needed to hear this message, so do some other people in my life. "God wants your heart more than your healing" is something that really hits home with me. Thank you Fr. Mike.

I'm trying so hard to accept this and I do, sometimes and other times I'm doubled over in sorrow. Thank you so much Fr. Mike for these awesome videos that help me with my faith and my shortcomings that help me move forward a little more each day. God bless you!

What Fr. Mike says in this very video helped me with thoughts that my struggles take me away from God. No, in our struggles we are closest to Our Lord, who suffered and died for us that we may have eternal life. My spiritual director gave me this thought, “Christ was glorified and ascended into Heaven with His wounds” and the same is true for every saint.

I sobbed while watching this because now it makes sense. I feel like I'd started my path toward acceptance, but now I think I finally understand. It is not easy, and I know the right path is not meant to be easy. However, knowing I have God's grace and His love amidst all of the struggle with sin, mental illness, and my other health issues gives me so much peace. I know I have a purpose. Thank you Father for helping me to remember that.

Those are some hasty conclusions there, you angry, resentful person. I'll just say that I listen to many forms of philosophical thought, Christian, Muslim, and atheist included, but I have never seen a more bitter rant than your arrogant outburst here. You don't convince people of your point of view by slapping them in the face with this offensive word vomit, instead you need to demonstrate respect so that you can receive it in return.

No more ED for over 30 yrs. I want to bless an encourage you. Some things don't get fixed but some things do. I know many who completely recover from ED. Believe it is possible because I'm you decades later. Happy healthy and free in Jesus. I will pray for you. In Christ.

My 27 yr old son is dealing with bipolar and he has only just begun to pray since Divine Mercy Sunday. He was able to go to confession and receive Holy communion on that day. He hasn’t been able to sleep deeply for three days solid and yet God has sustained him. It’s like watching Jesus undergo the triduum. Suffering after suffering. And I have had to walk with him. Now I know that our home is not here but this is the journey to get there. A narrow path strewed with debris. It’s hard to take.

Shut them down as fast as possible before they pick up steam. And 2. Distractions are very helpful.
