Inner Healing and the call to Holiness
Out of practicality, let us look at the three basic facets that comprise every human being:
THE MIND that refers to our thought patterns,thinking processes, attitudes towards God, self and others and whether or not it is under the Lordship of Jesus. (Rom. 12:2.)
THE BODY that refers to our physical life and health, which becomes a sign of our spiritual well being as well.
THE SOUL that refers to the inner person; the feelings and emotions, the relationship we have, our personality,character traits and behavior patterns.
St. Paul in 1Thess.5:23-24, already aware of a crucial importance of this areas and obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit, reminds us that God wants us to be perfect and holy, safe and blameless in spirit, soul and body. He has called us to this pilgrimage and he will certainly accomplish it. Only then can the first and greatest commandment be lived sincerely - you must love the Lord you God with your whole Heart, with your whole Soul and with your whole mind... Mt. 22:37.
