We need to just learn to participate in the action of the Holy Spirit and reliance upon him for this entire movement of freedom and healing to be given to all of us as children, so that our broken hearts can be mended and our hearts can be restored, and we can experience the fullness and the restoration which is our promise of relationship and communion, not only with the Father himself, but with our brethren and all of those around us and for all of mankind. My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son.
Imagine finding a key that unlocks both healing and freedom from addiction. In this episode of 'Healing Addictions', Fr. Christophe Lepoutre dives into the profound role of confession in the journey of recovery. He sheds light on how surrendering to God, walking humbly with others, and fearlessly examining ourselves can lead to true forgiveness and healing. Fr.
Christophe starts by revisiting the significance of the third step in recovery, emphasizing that our Lord has already paid the greatest price to offer us help and healing. He addresses a common struggle: blaming God for our pain and trauma. By forgiving our parents and seeking transformation through Christ, we can begin to heal. Confession, according to Fr. Christophe, is a crucial part of this process.
It's not just about admitting our wrongs; it's about receiving absolution from God and experiencing the grace that mends our broken hearts. Through the sacrament of confession, we can turn away from our pride and justification, and seek genuine forgiveness. Drawing inspiration from the story of the prodigal son, Fr. Christophe illustrates the importance of being actively involved in our own forgiveness. He reminds us that the Lord is gracious and looks upon our faith and needs first.
Throughout the episode, he underscores the necessity of relying on the Holy Spirit for complete freedom and healing. His message is one of hope: that through confession and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience restoration and communion with God and others. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate guide to finding spiritual joy and recovery.
