Have you ever thought about the fact that God is wounded?
Yes, the Church teaches that God is impassable 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 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.
Touching on a variety of topics from his new book, The Hour of Testing, my conversation with Father Haggerty uncovers his deep insights into:
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
