In God’s hands, our wounds become sources of healing, for ourselves and others. God wastes nothing, not even our deepest pain. Instead, the wounds that mark us are given a new narrative. No longer are we reduced to our worst memories. We now have access to imagine a new future. No longer are we subject to what happened. We now receive grace to show the world that something transformative happens when God’s presence is invited into our stories. No longer do our wounds have to hinder love. In the grace of the Crucified One, we are given the resources to have our love deepened.
