In this conversation, Fr. Mike Schmitz talks with Fr. Boniface Hicks, O.S.B. about one of the hardest realities of life: what to do when the suffering doesn’t end?
When pain feels endless, when healing doesn’t come, when it seems like God is silent—the Father’s word is not “Get over it.” It’s “Come to me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest.”
Together, they explore:
- How to wait well when you’re waiting for suffering to end
- The difference between complaint and honest lament
- How sharing pain can open us to love and hope
- Why even chronic suffering can be transformed into communion with Christ
