Author Allison Gingras introduces Jesus Heals: Finding Hope, Wholeness, and Peace in this first week of our Catholic Mom Virtual Book Club. She starts by discussing the purpose of Jesus' miraculous healings and how each brings a different kind of hope in this Jubilee of Hope.
Jesus longs to heal our hearts and strengthen our spiritual well-being. Allison looks at the life of the Woman and the Well, asking us to consider what we need to leave behind in order to give Jesus room in our lives to heal us!
Jesus Heals guides women through selected Bible stories of Jesus' tender care of ordinary people, all suffering in some form. Through story, Scripture reflections, and discussion questions, this prayer journal and Scripture study show how Jesus is still healing us today, even when his healing doesn't happen in the way we expect. Whether he heals us physically or spiritually, he fulfills the promise of his words in John 10:10: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
Jesus Heals is part of the Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women series, which I developed to help women deepen their connection with Jesus through inspiring stories, reflections, Scripture study, and prompts for prayer and journaling.
