22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time – 03 September 2023

Suffering is a part of life. Each of us in our unique way experience pain and difficulties as we go about our daily living. It might be long-term unemployment, our own sickness or the ill health of someone we love. It might be a long-standing broken relationship with a friend or family member. There are countless ways in which each of us suffers. How are we to understand and make sense of this? What has the Gospel this Sunday to say to us about suffering and being a follower of Jesus today?
