A Journey to Healing Through Divine Mercy by Theresa Bonopartis 9781596143692
Theresa Bonopartis is the developer of the Entering Canaan post-abortive healing ministry with the Sisters of Life and Foundress of Reclaiming Our Children, its lay apostolate. She also directs Lumina, a ministry of Good Counsel Homes. In A Journey to Healing Through Divine Mercy, she offers meditations on mercy to assist parents of aborted children in their reconciliation with God.
Inspired by the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, Theresa Bonopartis' A Journey to Healing Through Divine Mercy emerges from her own experience of being healed by God's mercy. Enriched with quotes from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and the popes, the meditations combine solidly orthodox teaching with a clear love for her fellow men and women on the path to healing through Divine Mercy. "This book of reflections was created as a way to personnally experience Mercy Himself," writes Bonopartis. "It is my hope that is will assist people to be freed from grief, sorrow, guilt, and shame, and bring them consolation and reconciliation with God."
