The Art of Suffering

This week on From the Housetops, Brother Matthew reflects on Father Victorino Osende’s powerful teaching on the mystery of suffering. In a world that questions the purpose of pain, faith reveals that suffering—when embraced in union with God’s will—is a means of purification, sanctification, and divine love. Through the cross, Christ infused suffering with redemptive value, making it a sacred instrument through which grace descends and souls are transformed.

Join Brother Matthew as he explores how even the consequences of our sins can, when offered to God, become the foundation of holiness. Saints were made not by their strength, but by their acceptance of suffering with humility and trust. In this episode, discover how true joy and sanctity are found not in avoiding pain, but in embracing it for love of God.

“...and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye from the housetops.” Matthew 10:27
