A woman’s speech – devastating or liberating
A woman’s word is powerful if it is received from above and adopted, i.e. lived, and becomes her blood and tissue, not just a shallow affirmation. In this time of pandemic, speech is spreading like a virus that destroys interpersonal relationships, scares by adding up the number of dead and sick, discourages people from making progress, belittles values, brings unrest because of decisions for the good and does not bring hope. The world is crying out for speech that uplifts, moves, frees, invites, directs and leads to a goal.
History deprived women of the right to vote. Precisely because a woman is a fearless and most persistent medium. This is confirmed by the fact throughout the historical time of Jesus of Nazareth. The Woman bearer of the Good News appeared, ready in unpreparedness, Mary: ‘May it be to me as you say,’
The most ready Woman to turn the Word into action. Then a woman was chosen again to convey the Good News of the Resurrection. Today, the time has surely been given to a woman to once again be the medium of the transmitter of the Good News. A woman should be all turned into speech.
Hagiotherapy of speech
The founder of hagiotherapy discovered the organ of healthy speech, which is the mind, and the source of which is the heart. A pure heart creates healthy words, and they heal the soul of the whole man. The drama of the speech begins when the heart is infected with insults, anger, hatred, rage, all of which are the result of unforgiveness. Theology brings us the truth about the living word. God, who is the Creator, brings forth his Word from himself, pronounces it and makes it visible in the God-man Jesus Christ.
From the cognition of the Father comes the Word that is close to us and recognizable. The fundamental communication of man with his primordial „You“; interlocutor and the meaning of his existence, the One who created him. And why does he not succeed? How to establish a broken communication with the Creator? By moral acts.
With hagiotherapy, we observe four parts of speech: what is speech, pathology of speech, what is diagnosis and what is therapy. One speaks even when he does not say a single word. Speech is a word that creates a relationship between two people. A speech is a look that gives an encouraging or discouraging message. A gesture and reaction that scares or encourages. Speech is a poem, a picture and a book that sends a message. We speak with tears and with nice or derogatory words that convey emotions. The speech is dressing, career…
Pathology of speech is knowingly and freely speaking with speech that destroys, brings unrest and leaves guilt. Immoral and evil speech injures man’s dignity and inflicts wounds, fears, anxieties, feelings of helplessness, worthlessness and meaninglessness. By pathology of speech, we distinguish the diagnosis of the speech of a woman who, due to forbidden expression and denial of freedom of speech, ultimately retaliates with a verbal blow, at herself and her environment. Speech and hearing, two in one, is the organ for communication. In order to be able to achieve fundamental communication with our primordial „You“, to experience and hear the word that moves us, frees us, wakes us up into life, we need to make a fundamental turn from the world to ourselves, from evil to good.
The only perspective in life is to see only good and open only to good, and fight against evil. Moral decision and moral action keeps us connected to the transcendentals and the Being. That is the only way everything goes well in our lives. To think and speak in accordance with natural law. Morality is a special organ of the spiritual soul, and it is man’s natural law. Morality shows our relationship to ourselves, the Creator, other people and nature. According to it, we have a correct image of the Creator who is Goodness itself, who created everything out of love. We accept ourselves as a priceless gift and experience our own value by existing, and accept other people as a path and task and nature as a temporary place.
An effective word – therapy
„The word is giving thoughts at the mercy of other people“, said dear Professor Ivančić. That is why a woman can truly be the most effective medium of the Good News.
Woman, transmitter of words, pour all of yourself into speech. Be the speech of life, an effective word. A word that frees from fear. Dare to do what the world does not promote. What is your deep longing. Only the One sees the depths of your soul and its primordial goodness and therefore does not judge you but forgives and loves you. Live what you say. Speak what you live. Accept yourself, just as you are, with this gratitude:
How can I repay you?
While I feel love on the back of my head
and tenderness hover over me, I wonder:
‘How can I repay you?’
As I feel my first love watching me longingly, I wonder:
‘How I can repay you?’
I owe you my eternity, my existence,
every vein in my body
and all the air I enjoyed breathing.
Oh, to be grateful to You, with what?
How can I thank you?
How can I repay you?
For all the blood in my body, for the heart, lungs, liver
for the person of me as a magnificent being,
how can I repay You, how can I thank You?
For everything I have endured so far.
For all that is known to me and for all that has been given to me,
how can I repay You?
When I wanted what I should not have done, You did not hold a grudge against me even then,
how can I repay You?
When I could not do what I needed to do, and I did not lose,
how can I repay You?
When nothing was expected of me, on the contrary, only love,
how can I repay You?
I have You, without even acknowledging You.
You are there when I do not even recognize you.
You wanted me when others did not know me.
You found me when I was not looking for you,
I am to repay You with my life and to reveal You to everyone!
So You be You, not me!
