Each weekend until Advent, St. Theresa parish will send you one short (~10-min.) Faith in Focus video by Bishop Robert Barron. Many of these videos have been marked for a certain grade level, but are very accessible and enlightening to all.
This week we take a look at God & The Problem of Evil. Even though God is a loving Creator, we live in a world where there is evil. In our limitations as humans, we often ask why God would permit such evil to exist. Someday when we meet
God, we will come to understand this mystery. The good news is that God sent his only Son to redeem us from evil, sin, and suffering.

Watch this short video to help put the problem of evil into perspective. As you watch, reflect on our need to trust in God’s providence, no matter what the circumstance.
Questions:
- What do we mean by “evil”? Why is it so important to understand what evil is?
- What does God say to Job when he wrestles with suffering?
- What does Jesus Christ crucified say to us about God and evil?
After watching, PLEASE ADD A COMMENT sharing your thoughts, or ask any questions you have! We'd love to answer them!
