And so we will come to the spiritual hospital. Ideally, we avail ourselves to Christ himself in the Holy Eucharist, and it is the Mother of God, the inexhaustible cup who gives us the example that none of us who have issues with our past or authority figures are going to be denied to learn to become like children and whatever our issues, where we've been trespassed, she's calling us to this cup, and that is where the most amount of healing, I do believe, can be given to the addicted and to the healing of all manner of addictions and their effects, which includes the illness of codependency.
What if the key to overcoming codependency lies in an ancient spiritual practice? In this episode, Fr. Christophe Lepoutre unpacks the transformative power of the Holy Mystery of Repentance, commonly known as Confession, in the journey to heal from codependency. Fr. Christophe delves into how Christ's ministry aims to liberate us from addictions and unhealthy dependencies. He candidly shares his own experiences, illustrating how seeking counsel and engaging in Confession have played pivotal roles in his personal transformation.
A highlight of this episode is the discussion on the Spiritual Father-Confessor relationship, which Fr. Christophe believes is crucial for anyone grappling with addiction. He also touches upon the significance of Holy Matrimony in personal growth, recounting how working through marital issues helped him address deeper emotional wounds related to his mother and other women in his life. Fr. Christophe draws upon the teachings of Metropolitan Herotheos Blakos, emphasizing the early church's standards for spiritual healing and ordination.
He passionately advocates for the 'spiritual hospital' approach, where the Holy Eucharist and the Mother of God serve as sources of inexhaustible grace and healing. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone seeking a blend of spiritual wisdom and practical guidance in their recovery journey. Whether you're battling codependency yourself or supporting someone who is, Fr. Christophe offers a compassionate and insightful perspective on finding freedom through faith.
