Facing Resentment in Suffering

Why do innocents suffer? Why does God allow me to suffer in ways that keep from accomplishing good things? There are many parts to suffering that are difficult to understand and can build resentment within us. Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle address these questions and share how they help others let go of their resentment in suffering.

Snippet from the Show
God suffers for you for a purpose, but he also suffers with you in the darkness no matter how bad it gets.

Quote from St. Thomas Aquinas
God allows evils to happen in order to bring a greater good therefrom.

Romans 8:18
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us

Quote from Jewish Rabbi
He who has not suffered, what could he possibly know?

Quote from Michael Gormley
If you can cultivate a love and contemplation of the face of Christ crucified, there is no suffering that you can’t endure.
