Brokenness

Father Henri Nouwen shared about the concept of the  "Wounded Healer". He referred to Christ who was wounded for our transgressions and thereby served as the Healer of our wounds. 
In this season of Lent, let us reflect upon the sufferings of Christ and receive the healing that comes from Him. We can commit our wounds, brokenness and suffering to Him today. He heals! 
This also means that when we are prepared to embrace and deal with the wounds within and around us, we would more likely be able to empathize and reach out to others, particularly to those who are deeply wounded in such a time like this!
