A moment of reflection by guests at Ukraine’s Nazareth Center in the midst of the natural environment"A powerful weapon of the evil one against the human person and the world is the devaluation of everything: of oneself and others, the environment and relationships. And all those who suffer from addictions take this path of devaluation." Affirming this is Fr. Vasyl Bilas, spiritual director of the Nazareth Recovery Center in Ukraine.
The concept of"home" refers not only to physical space, but also to an environment where one feels welcomed and encouraged to grow. The support framework of the Nazareth Center utilizes the combination of psychology, religion and spirituality."This allows the person to work on oneself, on values and inner life,” explains spiritual director Fr Vasyl. “The beautiful thing is that those who come to our Center are not always practicing Christians.
We find an echo of this in Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato si'. The Pope writes:"Since the market tends to promote extreme consumerism in an effort to sell its products, people can easily get caught up in a whirlwind of needless buying and spending.” ."It is not a sin to have things," Fr. Vasyl continues, “but it’s important to put everything in the right place, to reestablish priorities.
The psychologist says that this community approach is also important because people who have suffered from addiction understand very well the behavioral dynamics of this disease and can quickly discern if, for example, one of them uses manipulation in approaching a Center worker or tells lies. They can talk about all these problems in the group and try to solve them together with the specialists.
