From Suffering to Sacrifice – Christianity is a unique faith that holds its founder is God, a God who suffered and died for us. This theology which is so particular to our faith changes how we ought to view suffering and pain and helps to answer how it is we “make sense” of the suffering of innocents. Based on his book “The Urging of Christ’s Love” Omar presents the case for the Christian faith and the tells the stories of Blessed Franz Jaggerstatter and St. Germaine Cousin of Pibrac who both teach us how to hope in the midst of suffering.
