Fr. Tom Wilson joins Patrick to Discuss The Process of Healing

  • (3:19) why are processes even needed when finding healing in our lives?
  • Discovering your wounds to start to heal.
  • (14:42) Maria – Through some struggles I’m dealing with. Today is a hard day. Single mom of 8 children. Husband was abusive. I am still healing and it’s hard. Dad is still in the picture, but not a good role model. Sometimes I feel it’s too much.

(20:47) Break 1

  • What is the importance of community in the process of healing?
  • (27:57) Jude Thaddeus – I listen to Relevant Radio and I’m no longer in confession for the same mortal sin over and over. I have watched RR Plus and pray without ceasing. It’s a whole new healing and new freedom I’ve found.
  • How do you heal after you have found out what the problem is?
  • (36:46) Deena – Process of healing as it pertains to forgiveness. I learned a lot from it.

(40:50) Break 2

  • How do you know when you have been healed once and for all?
  • (45:16) Michael – Lately in my life, especially after my wife said she didn’t want to be married, after prayer, feeling lonely. Had a feeling of the presence of God. He said, ‘Michael, you’re not alone.’ I could feel his presence. Hoping to reconcile with wife. Hearing God was healing.
