Words of Hope – Health and Spirituality

Words of Hope – Health and Spirituality

Health is defined as the condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit. These three areas of life are reflected in everything we do. In fact, one thing we need to be clear on as a faith community is: spirituality is dependent on a state of well-being and health.

When we read the stories in the Gospels, we see that almost everything Jesus does is in order to bring people into a state of wholeness and health because people can’t love each other and God when they are in pain, when they are suffering, and when they are depressed.

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus invites people everywhere to learn to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. These three areas are very similar to body, mind, and soul. The ability to love God with all of our being is made easier when we are in a state of health. This is why we, at OAC, want to follow Jesus by making sure that the stories we are writing, here in Vancouver, sound, look, and feel like the stories that were written about Jesus.
