Episode BONUS: A Catholic Response to Suffering
Recorded live during a Day of Recollection at St. Margaret Mary Church during a full weekend of events in the greater Boston area, the friars unpack one of the most difficult questions in the Christian life.
Fr. Patrick, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Joseph-Anthony unpack surrender, friendship, and divine providence as it relates to suffering. Sharing personal anecdotes along with wisdom from scripture and the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, they provide clarity and concrete steps forward when life's circumstances feel impossibly difficult.
