Bob Schuchts, founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of the bestselling Be Healed, discusses the Week Two theme of Restore, freedom of heart. He explains why healing and the work of identifying wounds are both difficult and fruitful, leading to a joy that can only come from Jesus. Schuchts says when we explore our wounds, we are doing the work of restoration; when we're willing to do that work, the Lord heals us and gives us the freedom to live life to the fullest.
Freedom of Heart
We embark upon this second week of Lent taking the eternal love of God and prayer as the foundation of our lives. From this foundation, who we truly are emerges within the gaze of God. We find out who we truly are by being in relationship with God. Everything else flows from this source.
