Description: This week Dan, Melissa and Dr. Anthony Lilles find meaning through the mystery of suffering and unpack the importance of our charitable response to this reality.

Topics/Questions covered in the show:

• How can trials and difficulties help detach us from earthly things?
• How can we talk to people who are suffering about the mystery of suffering being a grace or blessing for the soul?
• While we are in the midst of great suffering, how can we act with love? What does that mean exactly?
• How can we truly help those who do not understand the "joys" of suffering?
• What does St. Therese mean when she says, "I shall not fear His [God's] strikes"?
