Catharsis

Cleansing from the inside unquestionably brings great relief to the outside.

An Aristotelian concept, cathartic endeavors were connected to the arts.

Theological concepts could be applied as it pertains to spiritual purification.

Heaven is the future home where our hopes of a final Holy Catharsis are realized.

Anxiety and other stressful experiences can be arrested through prayer.

Religion can never create any kind of cleansing that is real or lasting.

Sin and its derivatives have deep roots  at levels no human catharsis can reach.

I, and millions more, have discovered the eternal cathartic cure in Jesus Christ.

Science, medicine, and psychiatry are great tools, but they cannot act alone.
