Praying Through Suffering (a free membership signup is required)
St. John of the Cross said, “The soul that longs for divine wisdom chooses first, and in truth, to enter the thicket of the cross.” Yet so many have difficulties finding God in the midst of suffering. In this special Lenten reflection, we will explore how to embrace our crosses and seek the Lord, even when he seems far away.
