If there’s one thing we Catholics know how to do well, it’s suffering. Literally from the very beginning, Christians have endured persecution and opposition. It’s actually our ability to suffer well and “offer it up” that sets us Catholics apart from other religions.

But while this life IS an exile from the true feast of Heaven, our God did not make us to be sad and miserable for our whole lives. In fact, by living our lives close to and in love with Jesus, we experience a joy more intense than we can ever imagine, no matter what is going on in our lives!

Today, I’m chatting with my dear friend Fr. Michael O’Loughlin. Fr. Michael is the pastor of the Byzantine Catholic Proto-Cathedral of St. Mary in Los Angeles, host of the What God Is Not Podcast, and a permanent fixture on Real LIfe Catholic pilgrimages. We’re sharing five ways that you can unite your life with Jesus and move from vicTIM to vicTOR.

I can’t wait for you guys to catch this latest episode, and hopefully you find some of the tips useful in your own life. I encourage you to share this episode this week with someone who may be struggling. There is hope, and our God is a loving Father who NEVER abandons his children!
