Description
There are the good experiences and the not so good experiences that a person goes through in one’s life. Such experiences could lead a person to suffer a physical wound in one’s life. These same experiences, and others, could also lead the person to suffer spiritual wounds in his life. Wounds which distance us from the love of God also distance us from loving our neighbour.
This course will take you through this journey. A journey of exploring the spiritual wounds one could suffer in one’s life. Spiritual wounds which could be buried deep in one’s inner self, making it difficult for the individual to love one’s neighbour, to love family members and to be a person of mercy. These spiritual wounds often hinder us from having a personal relationship with Jesus.
The aim of the course is to know how one can be healed from spiritual wounds and recognize that such healing is only possible through Jesus. The course will cover different aspects of spiritual wounds which one can suffer in life. By the end of the course, students are expected to appreciate the healing power of the love of Jesus and that through prayer and faith, one will receive His healing.
Who this course is for:
- Any one who is interested to know how spiritual wounds can be healed and for those who want to experience being healed from spiritual wounds.
Instructor
During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am married and am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.
During my time as a missionary with ‘ICPE’, I recall going through different sacrifices. There were times when as a group we performed a mime in the streets of Germany and other countries, to bring forth the message of Salvation, together with our testimonies and preaching. It wasn’t the first time that people watching us made fun of us, laughed at us and ridiculed us. I used to feel the pain, but during the same occasion, I would see other people receiving our message of hope and desiring Jesus… that would encourage me to keep on going spreading the Good News.
Many times, I have turned to Him in prayer for direction in life. He has always shown me the way in these situations. He has shown me what to do and what to say.
My recent experience of Jesus showing me the way, is precisely of writing Christian books. Since the early nineties when I was a missionary, I always felt this desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme. I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge at that time. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that He wanted it from me! Since that time, it has always been in my heart, but it was never fulfilled.
My ‘Yes’ to take up this challenge happened in November 2014, and since then, I have published 15 Christian books. God has paved the way for me to do it. I do sacrifice myself to write these books, as it needs time to write and to publish. But, I thank Him, that through this challenge, although it is tough, it is also peaceful and it is rewarding to see other people appreciating my work, and receiving the messages I write, which are based on Jesus’ love to us, that is, His Salvation.
Now my next challenge, or better next calling, is to transform my Christian books into short courses to further explain in more detail what is written in these books. The lectures are intended to deepen the students experience of God's love in their life.
