Examining our hearts during Lent provides an opportunity to address unresolved wounds and cultivate the humility necessary for genuine healing and transformation.• Complex relationships can create barriers to grieving fully due to unfinished emotional business• Unexamined slights or forgotten relationship ruptures often prevent us from processing grief• Lent offers a time to examine our spiritual life and relationships• Those who guard their hearts most closely often struggle most with grieving• Pride frequently stands in the way of honest self-examination and healing• Humility puts our lives in proper perspective and opens us to growth• Cultivating humility involves contemplating our true place in the order of natureWith thanks to Dr. Louis E. Newman and his book "Repentance".As you listen, consider sending me your thoughts and questions on grief, both spiritual and practical, so we can walk this path together.Listen every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music for spiritual direction, art, and workshops shared through Santa Clara University, https://events.scu.edu/markey-center/event/332001-spiritual-accompanimentYou can reach us at: [email protected] DIRECTION WHILE GRIEVING IS AVAILABLEArt: https://www.etsy.com/shop/vasonaArts?ref=seller-platform-mcnavand https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/candee-lucasMusic and sound effects today by: via Pixabay
