Heart-to-Heart: Hurt and Reconciliation | Ep. 4

In the fourth episode of Heart-to-Heart Conversations, Cardinal William Goh addressed the realities of a Church that “is not a museum of saints, but a hospital for sinners.”

Cardinal Goh and the participants share their personal stories of being hurt by members of the Church and discuss how our struggles can be a means for the healing of others when we allow Christ to first tend to our wounds.
