Someone Came Out To Me...Now What Do I Do?

Question of Faith

Send us a text

What if the way you respond when someone comes out to you could be a turning point in both their life and yours? In today's episode of "Question of Faith," we unpack the delicate art of responding with empathy and genuine love when someone shares intimate information. Deacon Mike Hayes, Father Damian Ference, and Maria Wancata bring their own heartfelt stories and wise counsel to the table. We discuss the powerful role of body language and initial reactions, offering guidance on how to handle these moments with the compassion that Christ teaches us. This isn't just about doing the right thing; it's about recognizing the sacredness of these revelations and embodying Christ's love, even when we may be surprised by what people tell us.
We delve into the profound connection between humanity and divinity, reflecting on how Jesus desires to be involved in every corner of our lives. Inspired by Pope Francis's teachings, we stress the importance of maintaining loving relationships, especially within families. For more information go to dioceseofcleveland.org/humansexuality.
