About this sermon

The world is filled with fear of the unknown right now, but author and Center for Action and Contemplation founder Richard Rohr speaks to the wisdom of the "necessity of necessary suffering." The primary way God speaks to us is through Reality, and the way into Reality is saying yes to suffering that cannot be avoided.
