How God Can Use Suffering for a Greater Good w/ Dr. Christopher Mooney

For more resources on suffering, check out "Eternal Rest" on Formed: https://app.formed.org/app/collections/770628 Dr. Scott Hefelfinger is joined by fellow Augustine Institute Graduate School professor Dr. Christopher Mooney to ask a hard question: how do we know God cares about our suffering? Contrasting the death of Socrates with the Passion of Christ, Dr. Mooney shares how Christ's compassion overcomes the loneliness of suffering, including his own experience of grief after losing his father, and the two discuss praying the Psalms, resting before the crucifix, and being present to friends who suffer. This week's challenge: pray a Rosary and draw near with compassion to someone who is suffering. Have a question or topic idea for future episodes?
