Episode Synopsis

Why would a loving God allow suffering? In this homily, Fr. Miguel unpacks St. Paul’s mysterious words: “I fill up what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.” With insight from Scripture, the Catechism, and the witness of Mother Angelica, he explores how our pain—when united to Christ—becomes powerful, purposeful, and even redemptive. This is a message for anyone carrying a cross and wondering if it has meaning.
