No Pain No Gain

No Pain No Gain

Sometimes when we do the things we feel are right, especially when we feel we are following God's plan for our lives, we experience pain, affliction, friction and sadness. The Church calls this redemptive suffering. But, it's still hard. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they answer an email from "Amy" who is going through RCIA and is experiencing great difficulty in reconciling her parents' lack of support with her need to honor them and respect them (while still discerning God's call that she be on this journey). Sometimes (in fact, usually) conversion is painful.
