Philosophy Series: Benefitting from Suffering – Personal Growth and Meaning

May 5, 2027 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Westfield Young Professionals Philosophy Series - The Meaning of Your Life, an eight-part series

The Meaning of Your Life – Session 8

How can I find meaning and hope in my trials?

Our final session looks at one of the hardest questions in any serious search for meaning: what do we do with suffering?

Christian faith does not ask us to pretend pain is pleasant or easy. Saint Josemaría Escrivá wrote and preached from within real illness, hardship, misunderstanding, and sacrifice, while insisting that suffering can be united to Christ and transformed into love. This evening explores how trials can deepen freedom, compassion, maturity, hope, and our relationship with God without romanticizing what hurts.
