102 How to Find Meaning in Suffering – Anointing of the Sick

In this episode we look into one of the more significant moments in the life of St. Teresa of Avila, where she suffered a lot because of illness and paralysis, and almost died. We talk about the meaning of suffering, and how the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to us by Christ to strengthen us spiritually and help us in the most difficult moments of our lives.
