Questions from a Wounded Heart

Answered by


Fr. Dick Mevissen CSsR

These twelve reflections flow out of my long association
with divorced persons and those who minister with them
in a ministry which strives to assist people to find
healing in the midst of almost overwhelming grief and
anger associated with the painful end of a marriage
in divorce.

-Fr Dick Mevissen

Q: Why am I still looking for love?
Answer

Pope Leo's Intention for the Month of
October 2026

He prays that the Church may become “a safe space where
everyone has a place — a community that accompanies and never excludes,
that listens without judging and draws near without fear.”

The pope also remembered those who provide care, including professionals,
family members and volunteers, asking God to give them strength and compassion.
