Happy Easter from the Catholic Inner Child Work Team 🤍

We sent this message to our suscribers in our newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed yet, click the link in our bio for short reflections, integrative practices, journal questions, and updates!

As Catholic Inner Child Work coaches, we are thrilled to celebrate this season of hope and renewal.

Christ’s victory over death and darkness offers us all new life, but sometimes that new life is hard to feel and experience.

That’s why we’re here to support you. We want to walk with you and help you slowly experience the resurrection of the Lord in your mind, body and soul.

Check out our offerings at www.catholicinnerchildwork.com and consider reaching out for a free 15-minute consult!

With love,

The Catholic Inner Child Work Team

There is something deeply transformative about not just thinking about Jesus’ suffering but staying with Him in it.
This past Sunday’s reading from Gospel of Matthew 26:14—27:66, prepares us for Holy Week. An opportunity to fully enter into the kind of presence that transforms.

There’s no anaylysis, rushing to meaning, or trying to fix what hurts.

But staying.

And the hope is that as you stay with Jesus in His betrayal, abandonment, and surrender… something subtle begins to shift.

You may begin to notice:
He is not distant from your pain. He doesn’t want to rush to get to the “good part.” But He’s steady, present, and unmoving in His love.

So today, if you feel overwhelmed or alone:
Pause.
Breathe.
Stay with Jesus.
And gently notice how He is already staying with you.

Happy Holy Week friends 💜

Beloved, even in the places that have felt like death and decay,
God is still at work.

New life can begin there, slowly, gently, and in ways you may not yet see.

We are with you on the journey ❤️

I missed sending my Gospel reflection the past week. Instead of rushing to make up for it, I’m letting it be a small reminder that the spiritual life is less about perfect rhythms and more about returning.

Returning to the Word. Returning to prayer. Returning to the quiet place where God is already waiting.

If this week has felt messy or off-rhythm for you too, you’re not alone. Together let us return…

Take what you need.

I’ve been holding unto Sunday’s gospel, where we read about the Transfiguration, like the woman who reached for the hem of Jesus’ cloak.

Lent has been extra lenty and if it has been for you, too, I pray these words find you and settle your heart 🩷

Yesterday’s Gospel offers us a healing balm for the week.

As we look to Jesus, we can feel our hunger and let Him meet us with His presence.

Take a breath, beloved. God is not asking you to stop needing.
He is offering to meet you more deeply.

Most of us learned to respond to limitation with pressure, to littleness with annoyance and anger.

But this season is about letting God reparent.

It is about returning to love and paying attention to the little, hidden and quiet places in your heart, so love can take root.

What you entrust to God’s mercy this Lent will heal.
What you refuse or perhaps fear to bring into God’s mercy, will harden.

Wishing you all a healing, forming, freeing, and honest Lent 🤍

This Lent is not about proving your devotion.
It’s about remembering who you already are.

Many of us learned, quietly, in early childhood that love had to be earned. That God was watching, evaluating, waiting for us to “get it right.”

So Lent became another place where fear, pressure, and perfectionism lived.

But that was never the invitation.

Lent is not God stepping back until you improve.
It is God moving closer while you are still becoming.
It is a season where love precedes change and makes change possible.

If your nervous system learned that rest was unsafe…
that mistakes meant withdrawal…
that being human cost you connection…

Let this be a re-learning.

You are not loved for your performance.
You are loved because you are His child.
And you are allowed to grow at God’s pace, not the pace of unspoken expectations, rules or unconscious pressures and drives.

May this Lent feel less like striving and more like coming home 🩷

Many of us learned to relate to God like a supervisor.

We imagined Him disappointed. Tracking. Evaluating.
Withholding warmth until we did better.

We project our childhood experiences unto Him unconsciously.

But these projections are not the Gospel.

The Father does not love you after you improve.
He loves you first and His love is what transforms you.

And when we internalize a performance-based God,
we often carry that same pattern into our relationships.

We start to believe we must earn love from others too.
Be impressive enough.
Be agreeable enough.
Be low-maintenance enough.
Be spiritual enough.

Love becomes something we secure instead of something we receive.

If this feels uncomfortable, that’s okay. Your nervous system may be wired for performance-based attachment.

God is not threatened by that. He wants to heal it so you can stop performing for Him and stop performing for love.

St. Valentine, pray for us! 🩷

May you know that you are loved.

If your body remembers this feeling…
If you know the pain of praying to be someone else…
pause… breathe…

You are safe to be fully alive now 🩷

Many of us don’t realize we’re still being parented by our parents, not in real time, but internally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As adults, we can still be guided by old schemas, family roles, systemic wounds, and distorted rules we absorbed growing up. Our inner dialogue often echoes the criticism, fear, or negativity that shaped our environment — words we didn’t just hear, but felt in our bodies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we shrink.
We rush to save or fix.
We feel pressure to be perfect.
Or we rebel and self-sabotage.

Without realizing there is a child within us who is abandoned, shut out, and experiencing similar unhealthy dynamics that reinforce the same wounds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When this becomes our default, we can feel stuck in time — unable to grow into the maturity and freedom we’re actually called to. Healing invites us to gently untangle from those inherited patterns so we can be guided by truth, integration, and the God who loves us without condition.
