THE GOOD SAMARITAN AND MEETING THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING
The whole Church is suffering and throughout history, each generation is given a period of time in which we are called to live in the sanctifying grace of God.
In today’s ENCONTRO, EPISODE 1, Fr. Nuno Rocha invites us to listen to Amelia, Dr. Blythe Kaufman, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, Marian of the Immaculate Conception and Fr. Elias Mary Mills, Franciscan of the Immaculate. Together, they offer words of comfort that might help us to manage our responses to suffering — especially aware of those who feel alone and who wonder, "Who is out there to reach out to me?"
