Commentary by Becca Wilson featured in the National Catholic Register
On March 30, 2025, the National Catholic Register published a commentary blog by Becca Wilson, Director of Catholic Wellness Programs for CMF CURO, on responding to God’s gift for life. Beyond the additives and our food system, what does it mean to ‘be well?’ Wellness is both physical and spiritual.
Becca wrote, “It means that God cares about us. All of us. Too often, we fall into the trap that God only cares about our spiritual health, neglecting the physical and emotional aspects of who we are. Now is the time to reclaim true wellness.
“This conversation at its core is about human flourishing — our modern version of the ancient philosophical dialogues. This can and should be a starting point of dialogue with our world. As Catholics, we are called not just to participate but to guide this discussion toward its true end: the wholeness and holiness God desires for every person. The Second Vatican Council reminds us that we are to be leaven in the world, engaging and influencing culture with truth and charity.”
