Father Meinrad: Joining a Divorce Ministry Monastery of St. Gertrude's Podcast
-
- Christianity
In this episode, we are rejoining Father Meinrad, the chaplain for the Sisters. We first met him in August when he shared his feelings on the places he’s called home, from his childhood home to his home monastery, and feeling at home at St. Gertrude’s.
Not that long ago, divorce was considered a faux-pas and divorce ministry was virtually unheard of, with minimal support or training resources. Father Meinrad talks about his humbling experience of joining a divorce ministry, where he learned listening was more important than having the “right answer”, and how the principle of “death and resurrection” can be witnessed in those moving through the grieving process. You can hear the genuine joy he talks about the deep friendships that were born during times of suffering.
