There are many different symbols of the Church that can help us to understand it. We learn some of these symbols today, including a sheepfold, a cultivated field, the building of God, the spotless lamb, the bride of Christ, and our mother. Fr. Mike reminds us that, like us, the Church on earth needs constant reform. Jesus loves the Church and gave himself up for her. If we have any hostility or indifference toward the Church, we must check our hearts and pray to love what God loves. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 753-757.

In this episode of Discover Lafayette, we are honored to welcome Father Howard Blessing, a retired Catholic priest in the Diocese of Lafayette. Ordained in 1976 at the age of 25, Father Blessing has dedicated his life to serving others through his pastoral work at various parishes, including Saint Patrick Catholic Church, Holy Cross, Fatima, Sacred Heart of Ville Platte, and as chaplain at Our Lady of Lourdes. Today, he continues his ministry with Kent Zerangue through Food for Love, a mission providing meals to hospice patients and their families. Beyond his priestly duties, Father Blessing has a fascinating backstory—including winning a Dancing with the Stars competition at the Academy of the Sacred Heart with his friend Angi Davis! However, what truly defines him is his unwavering compassion and deep spiritual wisdom, which he shares in this moving conversation. Key Topics Discussed: The Calling to Priesthood: Growing up as one of seven children, Father Blessing did not consider becoming a priest until college. His journey has been one of continuous learning, as he believes that every person he encounters teaches him something valuable about life and faith. The Power of Listening: Through his work with parishioners and those in recovery, Father Blessing has learned that true ministry is about being present, listening without judgment, and validating people's experiences rather than dictating solutions. The Journey from Woundedness to Wholeness: As a recovering alcoholic, Father Blessing speaks candidly about self-worth, healing, and forgiveness. He emphasizes that behavior does not define a person—everyone is inherently valuable and worthy of love. Forgiveness as a Spiritual Practice: Father Blessing shares how forgiveness is central to his faith and personal journey. He explains that it is an act of will that unblocks the spiritual path, allowing grace and love to flow freely. Recognizing Our Own Worth: Inspired by Gandhi's wisdom, he discusses the importance of self-love and acceptance. The greatest invention, he believes, is the mirror—because the person looking back simply wants to be loved. Marriage and Relationships: Having counseled many couples, Father Blessing offers insights into the challenges of marriage. He stresses that true partnership is about growth, patience, and understanding, rather than relying on another person for happiness. The Art of Silence and Reflection: In a fast-paced, noisy world, Father Blessing advocates for stillness and deep introspection. He believes that in silence, we hear God's voice and discover our true selves. Wisdom from Hospice Patients: Through his work with Food for Love, he has encountered individuals at the end of life who have found peace, letting go of fear and embracing the journey ahead. Their reflections have profoundly impacted his understanding of life and death. Living with Purpose: Father Blessing humorously notes that when he retired, he told people, “If my garage door is open, I'm open.” He continues to be available to those in need, emphasizing that life's journey is about embracing transformation and being open to growth. Faith, Identity, and Love: He reminds us that we are not defined by our careers or achievements but by who we are as children of God. True fulfillment comes from embracing our divine essence and loving others unconditionally. Memorable Quotes: “The greatest invention in the world is the mirror, because the person looking back at you just wants to be loved.” “Forgiveness unclogs the arteries of our spiritual lives and allows grace to flow through us.” “We are called to listen and walk with people, not to tell them what to do.” “God is the potter, we are the clay. Life is about allowing ourselves to be shaped and molded.” “Love is the remedy. And sometimes, with gritted teeth, you just do.” This conversation with Father Howard Blessing is an inspiring reminder of...

This is when old wounds may resurface so you can release them. Can you do so with compassion and forgiveness?
Some wounds you cannot see. Luke, the physician turned Gospel writer, seems to think that all of us are sick. Maybe not physically. But all of us have something deeply broken in us. In Luke 5, he presents two stories of physical healing that expose our need for a yet deeper healing, and that is where Jesus wants to meet us. Jesus wants to meet us in the place of our deep woundedness. That's where we experience His healing power.
The post There is a difference between woundedness and brokeness. appeared first on Key Life.

This week, Jake and Bob are once again joined by Heather Khym to continue with part two of their four part series on the four identities of a human. In this episode, they focus on the identity of brother/sister and explore the sense of belonging, safety, and camaraderie that stems from these types of relationships. They also delve into the wounds a broken brother/sister relationship can cause, discuss the healing power of healthy affection, and how the saints can become our spiritual siblings. Key Points: Healthy brother and/or sister relationships provide safety, camaraderie, and healing through healthy affection and mutual support. Woundedness in brother and sister relationships can lead to deep despair and a sense of not belonging. The power of brotherhood and sisterhood lies in the invitation to belong and the opportunity to heal from wounds. The saints can become our spiritual brothers and sisters.

The pressures Asian Americans feel to be socially and economically exceptional include an unspoken mandate to always be healthy. Nowhere is this more evident than in the expectation for Asian Americans to enter the field of medicine, principally as providers of care rather than those who require care. Pedagogies of Woundedness: Illness, Memoir, and the Ends of the Model Minority (Temple UP, 2021) explores what happens when those considered model minorities critically engage with illness and medicine whether as patients or physicians. James Kyung-Jin Lee considers how popular culture often positions Asian Americans as medical authorities and what that racial characterization means. Addressing the recent trend of writing about sickness, disability, and death, Lee shows how this investment in Asian American health via the model minority is itself a response to older racial forms that characterize Asian American bodies as diseased. Moreover, he pays attention to what happens when academics get sick and how illness becomes both methodology and an archive for scholars. Pedagogies of Woundedness also explores the limits of biomedical “care,” the rise of physician chaplaincy, and the impact of COVID. Throughout his book and these case studies, Lee shows the social, ethical, and political consequences of these common (mis)conceptions that often define Asian Americans in regard to health and illness.

Moreover, he pays attention to what happens when academics get sick and how illness becomes both methodology and an archive for scholars. Pedagogies of Woundedness also explores the limits of biomedical “care,” the rise of physician chaplaincy, and the impact of COVID. Throughout his book and these case studies, Lee shows the social, ethical, and political consequences of these common (mis)conceptions that often define Asian Americans in regard to health and illness.

The pressures Asian Americans feel to be socially and economically exceptional include an unspoken mandate to always be healthy. Nowhere is this more evident than in the expectation for Asian Americans to enter the field of medicine, principally as providers of care rather than those who require care. Pedagogies of Woundedness: Illness, Memoir, and the Ends of the Model Minority (Temple UP, 2021) explores what happens when those considered model minorities critically engage with illness and medicine whether as patients or physicians.

There are many different symbols of the Church that can help us to understand it. We learn some of these symbols today, including a sheepfold, a cultivated field, the building of God, the spotless lamb, the bride of Christ, and our mother. Fr. Mike reminds us that, like us, the Church on earth needs constant reform. Jesus loves the Church and gave himself up for her. If we have any hostility or indifference toward the Church, we must check our hearts and pray to love what God loves. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 753-757. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
With his intersecting disciplines of Asian American studies, the medical humanities, and Christian theology, UC Irvine's Rev. Dr. James Kyung-Jin Lee is uniquely positioned to offer in-depth insights on the human problems of sickness, suffering, disability, and death, especially when seen through the filter of the Christian faith.
My dear friend Malvina and I continue the conversation in Part 2. We discuss why the new Kingdom age MUST be different from the old church age. They are two parallel tracks with vastly different trains on them. We're not saying the church age is bad – in fact many amazing people are called to finish it well. Just not us.What we need to do is build better bridges for people to cross over. I speak for myself…I haven't done a great job of this. But I can do better!Do join the conversation with your comments on YT or FB. We'd love to hear from you!TIPS:Swinging on the wrong pendulum can get you out of Father's Kingdom and into things better left alone. Know the difference. Keep Jesus and the Fear of the Lord (reverential awe) at the core of everything you do. If it does not exalt Jesus is not worth pursuing.Woundedness contaminates encounter experiences with Jesus. Be aware of your own and others'. Ask the Lord if there are filters that need to be removed around interpretation of what you hear or see.Find common language to help church agers cross the bridge into the Kingdom age. Remember what it was like when you were first waking up to deeper revelation.LINKS:Visit her website: http://MalvinaLaudicina.comMalvina's “Life of a Seer” Series podcast: https://insightnow.co/Take our FREE Business Assessment:SpiritCenteredBusiness.com– Join the Activation Ekklesia for Business: http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com/activation– Spiritual Business Coaching: https://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com/coaching– Join the SCB Tribe: http://facebook.com/groups/scbtribeBe sure to answer the membership questions so we know you're legit!

Hearing Jesus in Our Woundedness- Why We Can't Just Pretend Everything is Ok Have you ever pretended like something didn't hurt you? That's not forgiveness. That's lying. Today we are looking at the reality that we all get hurt and how those hurts can keep us from hearing God's voice clearly. Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast. Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open. Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

Wounds have a way of reminding us that they exist. They won't be overlooked. They poke and prod until we are willing to pay attention--to listen to them and honor them. In today's episode this is exactly what we'll be talking about. Join me in the conversation around my own wounds.
“It's important to understand our brokenness because it's what drives our sinful patterns, our addictions, and our compulsions.” - Michael John CusickThe following is an excerpt from Michael John Cusick's book, “Surfing for God”.“King David was a man intimately acquainted with his brokenness. Aware of his divided heart, he wrote in the Psalms, “Train me, God, to walk straight; then I'll follow your true path. Put me together, one heart and mind; then, undivided, I'll worship in joyful fear.” (Ps. 86:11 MSG)As a man heals from his bondage to porn, he must understand his brokenness and allow it to compel him toward Jesus. Our brokenness is our only requirement for receiving God's grace.”On this episode of Restoring the Soul, you will discover the 5 Ws of Brokenness:Wickedness - sin that has gone really far. We turn away from God.Weakness - a limitation or vulnerability that we carry.Woundedness - wounds of presence/wounds of absence.Warfare - we are in a battle. We have an enemy.Wiring - we are physiological beings.If you have missed any of the previous conversations about Surfing for God, click on the corresponding link:Surfing for God, Part 1Surfing for God, Part 2Surfing for God, Part 3
We live in an age that does not know how to recognize and reconcile its woundedness. This explains why we lash out at others, why we seek false substitutes for God such as Netflix, food, pornography, and drugs, and why we avoid long periods of silent introspection. If we want to deepen our spiritual life, we must discern our wounds, asking Christ to name them and heal them. It's the only path to freedom and the redemption of our personality.
