FR. TERRY COONAN FROM THE PASTOR
CATHOLIC HEALING
I want to share some of the fruits of my recent retreat and my continued reading (Be Healed by Bob
Schuchts) in the area of healing for us as Catholics. The word "catholic" means "according to the whole"
- so quite literally we can say that "holistic healing" is really Catholic healing. The healing of the whole
person is the goal of the work of Jesus Christ, so that Pope Benedict XVI could say in Jesus of Nazareth:
"Healing is ... an essential part ... of Christianity. It expresses the entire content of our redemption." The
purpose of Easter isn't to get us into heaven at the end of our earthly life. Rather, Jesus' Paschal
Mystery is designed to bring the Christian into the abundant life that is present now in Jesus. So it can
be said if understood correctly: Jesus came not to get you into heaven, but to get heaven into you.
But that requires something difficult from us. Pope Francis said it well: "We are afraid of salvation. We
need it, but we are afraid. We have to give everything. He is in charge! And we are afraid of this ... We
want control of ourselves." (6/10/2013)
I'd like to outline a good principle in this "catholic" healing process: what I believe determines what I do.
This simple yet profound statement is very important for understanding the healing that the Lord
desires for all of us. With the temptation in the desert from last week's Gospel, we saw a primary
strategy of the devil, our adversary who seeks to dominate us forever by leading us to choose our own
destruction. His strategy is feeding us lies. This is even clearer in the garden of Eden, where Eve is fed
lies that are both seductive and destructive. A seductive lie tells us something that caters to our
weaknesses, and blends a lot of truth into the lie (recall, the tree was named "of knowledge of good
mixed with evil"), and lies are always destructive to greater or lesser degrees. Lies can take many forms:
lies about who we are; about who we should be; about who others are; about who they should be;
about how the world is; about how it should be; even lies about who God is or what we think He should
be / do. The devil clearly sold this to Eve: "God is not trustworthy and will not provide for your needs."
It is often not our fault at all, but no matter how these lies enter our hearts, their existence will always
end up affecting our lives. Believing lies gives power to the liar over us. Those lies determine our world-
view and sets up walls that constrict our freedom to see the whole of reality and keep us in brokenness
or dysfunction. From those lies we can also create "inner vows" about how we intend to live our life
moving forward. For example, the lie that "(certain or all) people will break my trust and I will get hurt,"
leads to the vow "I'll never trust (them or anyone) ever again," or "I won't be vulnerable ever again."
See how true is the phrase: "What I believe determines what I do." It carries further. From those lies
and vows (and almost always the festering wounds that accompany them) flows the unholy self-
reliance that leads to sin in its various forms. All of our "unholy vows" establish an outlook of control: I
need to do this on my own. This leads to isolation from God and reliance on oneself. This basic pride
("my will be done") is the father of the seven deadly sins, which lead to all the others. So we see the
final goal of the father of lies: separation from God by sinning. Then more lies are planted: "you are a
wreck; He doesn't want you anymore; etc."
All of this can leave us deeply wounded even further than when it all started. Don't forget the truth of
the Gospel in which we stand: Jesus came to bring healing, and not just to take away our sins, but to
transform us entirely. It only requires our letting Him work, giving Him all of ourselves. Read the two
quotes from our popes above once again. Let Jesus in for healing.
We have a team of parishioners in the parish who are willing to help you take the first steps on that
journey of healing. They have gone through training and are collaborating with a wonderful parish in
the midwest that is doing this work. They will be available after Sunday Masses sometimes (pay
attention to the announcements) and are open to scheduling individual meetings with those who would
like to begin this work of healing. Please don't be afraid to reach out.
