The family - 20. Wounds (I) Part 1
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
In recent catecheses we have spoken about the family suffering through the frailties of the
human condition, poverty, sickness and death. Today, however, we will reflect on the hurts
that are incurred in family life. When, that is, we hurt one another within the family. The
worst thing! We know that in every family history there are moments in which the
intimacy of loved ones is offended by the behaviour of its members. Words and actions
(and omissions!) that, rather than expressing love, dismiss it or even mortify it. When these
hurts, which are still rectifiable, are ignored, they deepen: they transform into
impertinence, hostility and contempt. And at that point they can become deep wounds that
divide husband and wife, and induce them to find understanding, support, consolation
elsewhere. But often these “supports” do not consider the good of the family!
The depletion of conjugal love spreads resentment in relationships. And often this
disintegration “collapses” onto the children. There: the children. I would like to meditate a
little on this point. Despite our seemingly evolved sensitivity, and all our refined
psychological analyses, I ask myself if we are not just anaesthetizing ourselves to the
wounds in children’s souls. The more you try to compensate with gifts and snacks, the
more you lose your sense of these spiritual wounds — so painful and so deep. We talk a lot
about behavioural problems, mental health, the well-being of the child, about the anxiety of
parents and their children.... But do we even know what a spiritual wound is? Do we feel
the weight of the mountain that crushes the soul of a child in those families where members
mistreat and hurt one another to the point of breaking the bonds of marital fidelity. How
much weight, do our choices have — mistaken choices, for example — how much weight
do they place on the soul of our children? When adults lose their head, when each one
thinks only of him- or herself, when a dad and mom hurt one another, the souls of their
children suffer terribly, they experience a sense of despair. And these wounds leave a mark
that lasts their whole lives.
May God bless you all!
