Father And Joe

When a simple litany lands, you feel it. In this conversation, Joe and Father Boniface reflect on praying the “Litany of Healing and Repentance” before the Blessed Sacrament—four short responses that draw Jesus close, open our wounds to His love, and re-center daily life.

Through it all we keep the three lenses in view: growing in honesty with ourselves, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasThe four responses: “Jesus, heal my heart with your love.” • “Jesus, come close to me.” • “Please forgive me, Jesus.” • “Jesus, help me to believe.”Why short, heartfelt prayers bridge “distance” to the Eucharistic Lord, especially in large settings.Naming real wounds and emotions (rejection, loneliness, anger) so grace can reach them—without denying or suppressing them.Repentance as a path of healing: acknowledging my sins alo
