Summary

This week, Jake and Bob discuss the framework and theology behind the JPII Healing Center's "Healing the Whole Person" retreat. They begin by exploring how Christ's wounded yet glorified body reveals the path of redemption for every human life. Then, they reflect on how healing is essential to Christianity, how purgatory is ultimately about healing the soul, and how grace restores integration to our whole being. All suffering can become redemptive when united to Christ and they invite you into a journey of becoming whole, ordered, and ready for communion with God.

 

Key Points:

  • Healing is not a niche aspect of Christianity but an essential dimension of discipleship.
  • Christ's resurrected wounds reveal that suffering can be transformed into glory.
  • Every person is invited to become like Christ by allowing their wounds to be redeemed.
  • True healing brings us into wholeness and communion, not just relief from pain.
  • Purgatory is best understood as a final state of purification and healing.
  • The purpose of all healing is to prepare us for communion with God.
  • Sin causes disintegration within the human person and in relationships.
  • The Trinity is the model of perfect communion.
  • Human identity is fundamentally relational—we are made by, from, and for relationship.
  • There are four primary relationships: with God, others, self, and creation.
  • Emotional dysfunction often reveals areas of unhealed wounds.
  • Disconnection between body and soul leads to fragmentation and relational breakdown.
  • Technology can create the illusion of communion without its true depth.
  • Authentic communion requires presence, embodiment, and vulnerability.
  • Suffering becomes redemptive when it draws us into deeper trust and union with God.
  • The ultimate goal of healing is to make us capable of the beatific vision—eternal communion with God.

Welcome to Restore the Glory podcast. I'm Jake Kim.

0:06.9

And I'm Bob Schutz.

0:08.0

We're two Catholic ministry leaders and former psychotherapists talking about healing, restoration, and everything we've learned in our personal and professional lives.

0:16.2

And integrating our Catholic faith into everything that we do.

0:19.3

All right, Bob. Let's get into it.

0:21.7

Hey, Bob. Good to get into it. Hey, Bob.

0:22.4

Good to be with you again.

0:24.1

So you and I just had an extended conversation and they were like, oh, gosh, is this the episode?

0:30.5

How do we actually do this?

0:31.4

And one of the things that we wanted to dive in today is it's actually from your the original you know you have a whole teaching series

0:40.2

healing the whole person and people can find that on the jp2 website etc etc and in in the first

0:46.1

talk or in the workbook actually i'm going through all i was going to say give the context of

0:53.1

why you're going through it.

0:54.6

All this came up. Yeah. So one of the things that's happening is that JP2 healing is getting

1:00.6

so many invitations to, you know, go places you can't be everywhere, sister can't be everywhere.

1:05.4

And so one of the things that's happening is that you've permitted me and are kind of guiding

1:10.2

me through the process of owning the teachings myself to be able to teach them on behalf of the Institute, represent you well, et cetera.

1:17.2

And what's interesting is, as anybody knows who's ever taught anything, you know, write it yourself, that's easier.

1:22.5

But what I'm now having to do, I've done it a little bit, but I'm having to do it for the entire teaching

1:27.8

of healing the whole person, is get into it and become very familiar with it so that I can teach

1:33.9

it, but I'm also desiring and attempting to be faithful to your pedagogy so that I honor it

1:41.0

well, but I also have to make it my own. And so that's not an easy process. So I'm going into it. And what was fun is we were just talking about how with regard to the workbook, you know, I've heard you guys talk. I've heard you guys give the talk a hundred times. And I'm like, oh yeah, it flows. But when I'm having to give the talk, I have to make it my own. And that's a whole different thing. But then I said it clicked for me. And it clicked for me in my way. And so we were riffing on that. And we thought, why don't we share this with people as an episode? It brings them into the teaching. It brings them into the pedigodgy you've been working on for decades, et cetera. So anything else you want to add before we dive in?
