Mourning is Broken; how to mourn properly

In this Episode…Show more

Everyone suffers. Not everyone suffers well. In days of old, pre-Christ, suffering was viewed as an evil. In some sense, it is. Never was suffering apart of the original equation. Adam changed all this by his refusal to honour and worship Yahweh properly. It was that moment suffering became apart of the human condition.

What did Jesus do? He embraced suffering. It became the means for salvation; “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he picks up his cross”. “Pick up your cross and follow me”, he says. Humans, if they choose, can align themselves with Christ and suffer with him. Or not.

Archbishop Sheen speaks about the “or not”, or what people miss when the opportunity of suffering presents itself. Listen to Glen and Dennis, with special guest “Clark Sowers” discuss the importance of suffering properly.
