1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Have you ever thought about the fact that God is wounded? Yes, the Church teaches that God is&amp;nbsp;impassable&amp;nbsp;in his nature and cannot suffer. But as the God-man, Jesus Christ suffered and died out of his great love for us and mysteriously carries these wounds into eternity. And there's a sense that this divine vulnerability to wounds and suffering is still present by the loss of souls&amp;nbsp;that Christ loves so fiercely. It's a deeply fascinating and powerful topic that has a lot of implications for how we are to approach both God and the spiritual life in general. And it's the topic of a scintillating conversation I had with with renowned spiritual theologian and author Father Donald Haggerty on this episode of the Art of Catholic podcast.&amp;nbsp; Touching on a variety of topics from his new book,&amp;nbsp;The Hour of Testing, my conversation with Father Haggerty uncovers his deep insights into:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The breathtaking beauty of divine vulnerability The mystical wounds of Christ Developing pure receptivity in prayer Why God conceals himself as we seek him A powerful way to bring back family members to the Faith Developing a thirst for souls And much more!&amp;nbsp; God bless!
