Veronica's Veil
A Christ-centered Guide to Integrating Faith with Recovery
For Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse by Clergy
By T. Pitt Green and Rev. Lewis S. Fiorelli, OSFS
Veronica's Veil is the award-winning go-to reference for offering spiritual support to adults who are trying to integrate their Christian faith and the treasury of Catholic traditions into recovering from sexual abuse in a faith setting. This book transforms encounters into turning points in healing from the spiritual impact of all abuse and trauma.
With over 175 essays on topics common in psychotherapy and other treatment, Veronica’s Veil provides practical tips and inspiration for both individual reflection and healing dialogue, all gently guided by the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales.
Here is a model for the dialogue that can heal relationships wounded by abuse. The point/counterpoint approach draws on the co-authors’ successful workshops and retreats and can be a model for dialogue that heals hearts and relationships wounded by abuse.
This approach to healing and reconciliation has served to inform, inspire, and promote healing for survivors, family members, parishes and schools where abuse allegations have emerged, dioceses, lay ministries, diocesan and religious priests, religious sisters and brothers, monasteries and religious communities, Catholic organizations and leaders, as well as social workers, therapists, medical professionals, journalists, scholars, and policymakers who seek to consider their work from the point of view of survivors.
