Lenten Lament: Sound Diagnosis Makes Astute Prognosis Possible
In the medical field, it is impossible to prescribe proper treatment and provide an astute prognosis without a sound diagnosis of a patient’s condition. That is why I always pray that medical professionals tending to my son’s traumatic brain injury and resulting aftermath discern what the causes are for his various ailments. Sound diagnosis of a medical problem makes astute prognosis possible. The same is true in the spiritual domain. Lenten lament aims to help us discern what is wrong with our spiritual condition so that we can address the problem in pursuit of spiritual healing.
