This "interdependence" of the human race also means that the sins of ancestors and parents can affect us in other, more subtle ways (and this is surely the truth behind the Lord's saying in Exodus 20:5 that He "visits the sins" of the parents on their children to the third and fourth generation). For example, some destructive conditions (such as alcoholism, depression, and irascibility) can be passed down to us in our genetic inheritance. Moreover, the problems of our immediate parents and grandparents can be passed down to us in other ways, too, such as if they set a bad moral example for us of giving in to those destructive, inherited dispositions (as, sadly, people tend to do from generation to generation), or if they abused our bodies or failed to give us the love we needed when we are growing up. In such instances, we can become "saddled" with emotional and developmental scars. For instance, if we weren't given the love we needed as children, we may spend our lives struggling to learn how to love others and ourselves. This does not make them fully "responsible" for our sins and all our problems today, of course, and we have the responsibility to take action to find healing for these generational wounds ourselves. But, in this sense, healing for the past is certainly an aspect of the Church's ministry of healing prayer today. As for the question of what we can do to heal past generations of their sins and can we make atonement for them, the answer is yes. If they are in purgatory, we can offer prayers, Masses, and other works of piety and love on their behalf to speed their process of purification. In fact, one of the charisms of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception is to offer their lives for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. This is why they have an Association of Marian Helpers, a spiritual benefit society that embraces this same charism to pray for the deceased. Jesus Christ merited on the cross the forgiveness and sanctification of the whole world, but when people fail to fully receive that gift from Him, through repentance and faith — i.e., if their contrition for sin and love for God was "half-hearted" in this life — then they remain in partial moral debt to God (still owing, in theological jargon, "the temporal punishment for sin"). So by the grace and merits of Christ we can obtain further graces of contrition for them, and help relieve that moral debt. If this is what the offering of "Family Tree" Masses and "<strong>Generational</strong>" Masses means in Ireland today, then I see nothing but good in it. It is just another way of praying for the dead. But if people think that they are thereby magically warding off the evil effects on their lives of the sins of their ancestors (effects such as I have described above), or "paying" for their ancestors' sins in ritual ways so that God will not make them "pay" for their ancestors' sins in real life, then I am afraid they are afflicted by superstition and a false view of God's justice. He does not force anyone to pay for the sins of anyone else, and in most cases, the ill effects of the evils of past generations on us today are best dealt with by Christian counseling and healing prayer. Thus, the mercy of God can both pardon and heal the sinful hearts of our faithful departed ancestors, and heal us of the ill effects of any of their sins that we suffer from Page 86 of 137
today. That is definitely part of what our Lord meant when He said to St. Faustina: "My Mercy is greater than your sins, and those of the entire world" (Diary of St. Faustina, 1485). ________ <strong>Generational</strong> Healing; 5 Ways Healing Old Wounds Automatically Helps Your Kids, no Matter How Old You Are by Laura Di Franco, MPT I write to Feng Shui my soul. Are you in The Write Habit? Nov 28, 2017 I’ve known the truth about how the healing I do automatically transmutes to my kids for a long time. I’ve read, learned and heard about this in multiple healing circles and communities. I want to introduce you to this idea and ask, if you won’t do the healing for yourself, how about for your kids? The idea of trauma being passed down through generations isn’t new. The Wikipedia definition of transgenerational trauma is: Trauma that is transferred from the first generation of trauma survivors to the second and further generations of offspring of the survivors via complex post-traumatic stress disorder mechanisms. You can read about this in Psychology Today’s article: How Trauma is Carried Across Generations. I’m interested in how we heal generational trauma; what we need to do as parents to help our children, and theirs. In my work with holistic healing I often come across people Page 87 of 137
