Why Me? Scriptural Answers to Suffering And Its Meaning

In a world that seems to be perpetually enveloped in crisis, a world plagued by violence, sickness, and pain, the questions: “Where is God?” and “Why me?” are not uncommon.

Author Daniel J. Harrington, SJ shares scriptural answers to these age-old questions.
