Pentecost is one of the great feasts of the liturgical year and brings to a close the season Easter where we celebrate the manifestation of the Holy Spirit into the church and the need for the church to go out into the world. 
In this weeks podcast excerpt, we share a reflection from Word On Fire Ministries where Bishop Robert Barron focus on the fifth chapter of St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, where you find what Paul calls “the fruits of the Spirit,” which he contrasts with “the works of the flesh.” Maybe you’re struggling and wondering, “What should I do? What path do I take?” Whatever is giving rise to the fruits of the Spirit in you is the path you want—and whatever is giving rise to the works of the flesh, stay away from.

On this week's podcast we are sharing an interview from "A Question of Faith" podcast from TheWay.ie with Fr Patrick Cahill who reflects on the age old question of why suffering exists
The A Question of Faith podcast (available on YouTube and Spotify) features broadcaster Wendy Grace in conversation with a range of guests who grapple with some of the big questions in regard our search for meaning and truth.  These questions are echoed in the scriptures and each episode has biblical question that resonates with the title question.

In this episode retreat leader Father Patrick Cahill of the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, reflects on the reality and nature of suffering and how what the Christian faith has to say about suffering.

The biblical quote are the words of Jesus from the Cross – ‘My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?’ (Mt 27:46)

“This is not about solving the mystery of suffering …  It’s about walking with it, seeing how God can work even through pain, and recognising that our wounds can become windows.” - Fr Patrick Cahill
