I heard it said recently that not only do "hurt people hurt people," but "healed people heal people." Thank you for reaffirming this.

Amen! I just went to a Life Giving Wound Retreat for adult children of divorced parents. Oh boy, what a blessing and profound healing experience. I thought I had already dealt with the pain of my broken family and boy how wrong was I! Thanks be to God. He let me look at my wounds honestly and share the hurt with people who have the same experience so our shared pain was acknowledged and honored. I mourned my loss of parents love. Jesus was there for me during my journey. Because of all the hurts that are not healed, I committed sins, horrible sins. But thank God he gives us the sacrament of confession and eucharistic adoration. I was able to have my sins forgiven and receive his love and mercy abundantly. I was becoming a child again who made a mess then ran to my Father, He told me it was alright and held me tight. He was there along. Oh, man. I wish everyone would have the grace to experience divine healing!

Thank you ❤so much! When is he returning to your podcast Mr Leonard??! This was so profound and efficacious to many it seems….. I know it was for me!😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for your powerful sharing. Can’t wait till you come back. Need to hear more.❤️🙏

This is so good, very much profound healing! Matt God bless you as you help to heal so many others; who may not even be aware of their need for a loving Father like God is to us. ❤❤❤

That makes sense… we sometimes react to our kids because of our own fears.

Yes, but seriously, why do they throw their dirty socks in the corner? 😳🙏

God bless the both of for this powerful message. May we all be permeable to the grace of God

Please pray for me and my family. We are legally divorced. We were married in the church a year after going to WYD 2002 in Toronto. The lies of the world and the devil have rooted deeply into my wife’s heart.

Praying for your family, that the love of God is felt, sanctifying and reuniting.

An excellent program, thanks to both of you for this information. Blessings

Beautiful testimony of living life in the Sunlight of the Spirit at last! Thank you both.

I don't know what to do sometimes having spent my entire life alone. Autism and an abusive home gave me very poor tools for developing community I reckon. And now I've reached an age where it feels like the world cares a little bit less about me than it seems it used to, and I guess that only gets worse as the years go on. What to do, what to do. Just continue to attempt to harness the despair I suppose.

God loves you as you are. Find a Neocatecumenal Way community. Move cities if you have to. God has a plan for your life and a place for you in His Church.

I know how difficult it can be for some autistic people to build meaningful and lasting relationships. Have you joined any groups for autistic folk? Finding a counsellor who is well versed in autism could also really help.,,though I know this is expensive. Praying you find the community you need.

Wow a very powerful conversation indeed. Would love to see you do more with Dr. Matthew. We all have so much hurt in us. Even though we are faithful people we all have hurts and need healing. Thank for all that you do Matthew. God bless you! 🙏🏼

Excellent! Can't wait to buy the book, it's in my cart 😃

Forgiveness of all others is the key 💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏾💙 pray that God will bring all of your former "foes " to your mind and pray for them it sounds much harder than it is.

Thanks you

This is eye opening and highly recommended.

You are an excellent interviewer Matthew! You ask insightful questions. Superb listening skills and you did your homework. I felt (unfortunately) that Dr Matthew was a bit cagey and vague when talking about the earlier phase of his life and what led him on a path of genuine self discovery and God centred healing. Thank you.

Maybe he didn’t want to revisit that time of his life, so as not to glorify it

Or maybe it was AA where in the traditions it mentions that AA is not to advertised but it's a program of attraction because all he is talking about is 12 step program.

@@AngelBien with respect, just because a person talks about their previous mistakes, poor judgement, sinful life, doesn't mean the person is glorifying it. I'd say it's about being "real" and not trying to white wash it or pop wallpaper over it. We ALL have baggage!

I yelled at my kid because that's how my parents raised me?

I'm sorry for you. Just apologize if you haven't already. One "I'm sorry " goes a long way. My mom just randomly said that she was sorry for being mean in general. I said thank you, then apologize for being a jerk sometimes. In about 2 minutes, years of pain melted away. I realize that it doesn't always happen that quickly, but I say 3 rosaries a day and she had begun going to daily mass months earlier. God was priming us for that moment individually. God is so amazing! I'll pray for you 🙏

My desire to believe is completely compromised by knowing a babies head was burned off its body in the fire at the Rafah camp. I have to forget about such horrors in order to believe that Jesus is there for me as an individual. Why would he be there for me and not that innocent little baby and possibly her poor mother was probably set on fire too??? And so close to Jerusalem…….the sacred city??? Unspeakably awful.
