Lenten Retreat Day 23: Finding God in Suffering: God Does not send pain and suffering!

March 31, 2025 • National Catholic Broadcasting Council

Father Richard Leonard

God does not cause suffering. Rather, Jesus reveals a loving God who brings healing and light, not punishment. Suffering is not God's divine retribution. Believing in a compassionate God challenges harmful theology. In suffering, we are invited to reject images of a vengeful deity and trust in Christ’s healing, non-violent presence.
