The Church That Heals
Oct 26, 2025 • Fr Paul Girguis
In this heartfelt message, Fr. Paul reminds us that the Church is not a place for judgment but a house of mercy. When Jesus healed the blind and demon-possessed, the Pharisees judged Him — yet Christ revealed that true holiness is found in compassion.
The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a hospital for sinners — a house of mercy where darkness is cast out, not people. Abouna calls us to reject judgment, welcome the broken, love radically, and become the hands of healing that Christ desires His Church to be.
📖 “If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.” (Matthew 12:28)
🙏 Let us make our churches places where every sinner feels safe to encounter Jesus, and every heart learns to love as He loved.
