Adrianna and Sofia discuss wounds, both spiritual and psychological, through the lenses of their own journeys of healing and Sofia’s research. What is woundedness and how is it a sign of our history and our destiny? How can we discover our own core wounds? What are steps that we can take toward healing - and why should we want to do so? We finish with a reflection on Christ as the Wounded Healer. //
Our weekly challenge is to take the list of core wounds to Adoration, allow the Holy Spirit to draw your attention to one in particular, and pray for healing in that place. And our media recommendation is The Incredulity of St. Thomas, a painting by Caravaggio. //
