Praying the Rosary

for Inner Healing

.....

How do we get in touch with the healing love of Christ? It’s not easy. The way to Christ is full of obstacles. We can’t see him clearly because of our misunderstandings. Sin blocks the way. We want his love and healing, but we are also afraid of what this might entail. We want him to heal us, but we’re not sure we are ready for the total transformation that his healing will bring us. We’re afraid of the total commitment he demands. Other duties crowd our lives; other interests distract us from his love. We’re full of doubt, fear, anxiety — and we lack the faith and trust required to really reach out and touch him.

We can approach Jesus’ healing power in various ways. First, we need to approach Jesus through the sacraments of the Church. If we want his healing, we first need to receive him regularly through Communion. If we want this to be a complete meeting with Christ, we also have to meet him in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There Jesus meets us and deals with the sin that blocks us from the fullness of his healing love.
