Do you struggle to believe that God truly loves you, not just in theory but in your own experience? In this episode, Fr Columba explores why so many people feel unable to receive God’s love, even when they know it is true. He shows how hidden shame and self-rejection can quietly block us from letting that love in, leaving us feeling distant or numb in prayer. By honestly facing what we believe about ourselves and bringing it into the light, we can begin to receive God’s love in a real and transformative way.
