Understanding evil and suffering in the light of Christ
Meditation on the mystery of evil and suffering
Understanding evil and suffering in the light of Christ
Reserve my spot
Where is God in the face of evil?
- We are constantly confronted with the mystery of evil: the suffering of the innocent, the violence in the world, our own wounds, our silent rebellions.
- How can we still believe in the goodness of God facing these realities? How can we reconcile faith in a God of love with the persistent presence of evil?
- Through listening to the Word, times of silence and prayer, we will explore the mystery of a God who does not remain indifferent to human suffering, but who carries it and transforms it into a place of life.
- This retreat aims to be a space for listening, reflection and conversion of perspective, for all those whom the mystery of evil questions or deeply troubles, but who seek to let God's light pierce through the darkness of existence.
This retreat weekend invites you to meditate on these crucial questions and to seek the light of Christ to understand how evil can be transformed and become a source of salvation.
