Spirituality is about being connected, and it's both a private and a shared experience.
Picture this: you're on a journey to recovery, battling both addiction and mental health challenges. Where does spirituality fit into this picture? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Father Thomas Hoare, president of St. Edmund's Retreat, to explore the often overlooked spiritual dimension of recovery. Father Hoare brings a wealth of experience from his roles in parish ministry, campus ministry, and his leadership at Enders Island.
He believes that true recovery isn't just about addressing the biological and emotional aspects of addiction and mental illness, but also the spiritual ones. Father Hoare delves into how personal responsibility, forgiveness, and self-love are crucial to moving forward. He emphasizes the need for a supportive community and the importance of prayer and meditation in strengthening one's spiritual life.
But it’s not all smooth sailing; Father Hoare also warns against the pitfalls of creating your own concept of God and how fear can hinder spiritual growth. Instead, he advocates for living out one's faith as a way to help others find God's love. Tune in for a conversation that blends practical advice with deep spiritual insights, offering a holistic approach to recovery.
