Finding God in Suffering. E-book. Formato EPUB Fr. Christopher M. Mahar   -  Pauline Books And Media, 2023  - 

Why is there so much suffering? How do I make sense of my pain? Father Christopher Mahar responds to these questions and more with empathy, conviction, and hope. Guided by the writings of Saint John Paul II and over twenty years of pastoral experience, Fr. Mahar unfolds the mysterious truth that “even in suffering, we can find love.” His short chapters, reflection questions, and prompts for prayer are a rich companion for those who are suffering and those who love them. -----I wish I didn’t need this book, but I do. We all do, because so much of life is occupied with suffering—grief, disappointment, physical pain, shame. Jesus Christ showed us the way through every ordeal, empowering us not only to endure, but to triumph. In these pages, Father Mahar shows us that way, helping us to understand it as he provides clear, practical spiritual guidance. —Mike Aquilina, executive vice-president, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology; author, The Fathers of the Church; EWTN host -----Despite the “broken families, broken promises, and broken lives” all around us, [Father Christopher Mahar] effectively illustrates the astonishing Good News of our faith—that the “Gospel of Suffering” allows every trial to be a rich encounter with Christ and an opportunity to embrace a creative vocation radiating hope.—Genevieve Kineke, author and speaker on authentic Catholic femininity
