How can Catholics find meaning in suffering and grow closer to God through it?Dr. Michael Dauphinais engages with Megan Hjelmstad, author of Offer It Up: Discovering the Power and Purpose of Redemptive Suffering, to explore the theological and practical dimensions of suffering. They discuss how suffering, often an obstacle to faith, can be transformed into a path toward redemption by uniting it with Christ’s cross. Hjelmstad shares her personal experiences with chronic illness, pregnancy loss, and dietary restrictions, illustrating how these challenges led her to a deeper understanding of redemptive suffering.  Resources:  <ul><li><a href="https://www.avemaria.edu/annunciation-circle/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Annunciation Circle</a> (Ave Maria University Monthly Giving Community) </li></ul><ul><li>Ave Maria University <a href="https://www.avemaria.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a> </li></ul><ul><li><a href="https://meganhjelmstad.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Megan Hjelmstad&#39;s personal website</a>  </li></ul><ul><li>Find Megan Hjelmstad’s new book, <a href="https://stpaulcenter.com/store/offer-it-up-discovering-the-power-and-purpose-of-redemptive-suffering" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Offer It Up: Discovering the Power and Purpose of Redemptive Suffering,</a> published by Emmaus Road </li></ul>
