Is any other action necessary? reporting@archden.org Throughout the process, participants real- ized that they needed healing of their personal wounds in order freely to follow God as a disciple. Healing, ultimately, begins at the top. We cannot lose sight of the wounds and sins of the faithful and the Church from the past and recognize that we are not above sinning even now, thus we must continue to seek repentance, healing, forgiveness and reconciliation. We must also work towards greater healing of communi- ties of different races, cultures, ethnicities and nationalities that have been wounded by the Church and some of her members, including priests. The Church must name and claim the ways it has caused harm through the rejection and exclusion of individuals and groups alike. To help people encounter Christ the Divine Physician, our parishes, supported by the arch- diocese, are being called to be centers of healing in order to reconcile people to Christ first, then to each other. Lastly, there was a recognition that this approach of communal prayer and discernment has already proven to be healing and unifying. The process also made clear that the one who heals is Christ the Divine Physician. We are being called to seek him for our own healing, to ask forgiveness for the wounds we caused, and to lead others to him so that they can be healed. ⊲ The third key theme that emerged was healing.
