This is an excerpt from the full interview on The Life of a Priest, a podcast available in the Tabella Catholic App.
Father Manny Alvarez is the pastor of the Church of the Little Flower in Coral Gables, Florida. In this excerpt he gives us a reflection on suffering and exhorts us not to be complacent in the Faith.
There will be suffering. Anything that the Lord throws at us, we accept it with joy because we know whatever comes from our Lord is something that’s for our sanctification. If we have to suffer, let us suffer with joy; and let us not be complacent, but let us work towards eradicating all assaults to human life, because that’s what Our Lord wants us to do.
