Fr. Erik Villa Saturday Homily- The Healing Power of Scars
J
25:21John Erick VillaGUEST
One who played, enjoyed every second of it, got hurt, led to healing, and now learn, as any child should, whether from a normal or a dysfunctional family, to treasure every experience along the way.
J
25:42John Erick VillaGUEST
And I think of this, and I think of Joseph, who we have been reading this last few days from the Book of Genesis, with his life marked by betrayal and suffering, but also of forgiveness and redemption.
J
26:08John Erick VillaGUEST
His life is a testament to God's sovereignty and ability to bring good, even out of the most difficult situations.
J
26:22John Erick VillaGUEST
I imagine Joseph had scars from wounds he nursed, but he never allowed this to scar him for life.
J
26:37John Erick VillaGUEST
And so I invite you to think of those moments when you were hurt, perhaps quite literally bleeding because of these wounds.
J
26:49John Erick VillaGUEST
But past, fast-forward to also think how you could treasure those scars and be grateful that you actually were led to healing.
