Our Reaction to Difficulty Tells Us A Lot About Ourselves

Fr. Allen recounts a nugget of wisdom that he received at a diocesan training event to opened a new path for him in the midst of relational challenges; he unpacks this nugget in terms of Job's suffering and the way Christ is with us in our suffering.
