About this episode

Fr Columba reflects on the nature of pain and fear after breaking his leg, drawing insights from Jesus and Arthur Brooks.

Have you ever braced for a pain that hadn't actually arrived? After breaking his leg, Fr Columba noticed something strange in the hospital: most of what he was feeling wasn't pain at all, it was the fear of pain. Drawing on Arthur Brooks and Jesus in Gethsemane, he reflects on how to tell the two apart, and how Christ meets us in both. An honest, gentle reflection if you're carrying real suffering, or just living in dread of it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #270 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
