Breaking Generational Wounds: Forgiveness, Healing, and Grace ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

In this conference, we explore family generational woundedness—not “generational spirits,” but the real spiritual wounds that can pass through families by disposition, formation, and implicit learning. We cover how the cogitative power forms associations, why some hurts become traumas, how false judgments form, and how Christ—through grace and the Passion—heals the intellect, will, memory, and emotions. We also walk through practical steps: naming the core wound, choosing forgiveness, reprocessing memories, praying for inner healing, and preventing wounds from passing to the next generation.
