As a practicing Catholic, I am in the midst of Holy Week, a time when my faith finds expression in solemn remembrance and beautiful liturgy. It’s one of my favorite times of the liturgical year. However, I am also well aware that Holy Week and Easter can be quite painful and triggering for some abuse survivors - and others who have experienced harm within the Church.
Thank you to all of the survivors who spoke on their faith. Their words so resonate with me and my struggle with faith right now.
