Fr. Martin Padovani: Emotions are a Key Part of Wholeness and Holiness
(View segment from 1:58 to 3:10)
Was Jesus in touch with His emotions?
- Yes.
- He cried, got angry, felt happy, etc.
Can we resolve our personal and relationship problems by reason alone?
- No.
- Emotions provide feedback that helps us to be more attuned/more loving to ourselves and others.
If we fear or fail to face our emotions, what will the consequence be?
- We will suffer more than if we accept and deal with them.
- Emotions are gifts from God to help us find wholeness and holiness.
