Healing Hurts

“When you start to pray, you start to see yourself. When you see yourself, it starts to hurt. And when it hurts, you start to heal. Prayer is not a simple request, but an encounter with the Truth about yourself, about God, about life. Do not be afraid to see yourself as you are, because God loves you as you are, but He does not leave you as you are. He lifts you up, washes you, embraces you, and sends you back into the battle—but this time, you have His hand to hold on to."
Mother Silouana of Iash
