If Jesus Won… Why Am I Still Suffering?

CarmelCast

If Christ has already won the victory, why does suffering remain? In this reflection we turn to St John of the Cross and the mystery of the Crucified Christ to understand why victory does not always mean removal of pain. The Cross was not a display of strength but of weakness transformed by love. And that changes everything for how we endure our trials today.

About Podcast

Our goal here is simply to talk about the spiritual life from a Carmelite perspective - something that we already do in the monastery on a regular basis. Through this podcast, we hope to open the conversation up for you to listen and join in. We’re by no means experts on these topics, but we believe that our Carmelite tradition and saints have a lot to offer to those seeking to grow closer to God.
