Anxiety and Uncertainty
A Time of Great Transformation and Change
by Father Terence Curley
In
these months of national mourning, many people are finding themselves
dealing with emotional responses such as anger, fear, anxiety, vulnerability.
It is essential to name and own our feelings. Naming our fears is
the first step toward inner freedom. By using our fears, our anger,
or our anxiety we can begin right from where we find ourselves to
ask God for healing. A good friend of mine thought that because
she was a religious person she should feel an inner strength and
courage. Instead she felt weak and needed to find a shoulder to
cry on more than once. She needed to begin right from where she
was to begin to seek God, meaning and understanding. And so do you..
