Pain and Joy in the Journey of Faith | Maureen Pratt (Catholic Information Center)

Chronic illness and chronic pain can mess with everything — your body, your plans, your relationships, and honestly… your faith. In this talk at the Catholic Information Center, Maureen Pratt (founder of The Peace in the Storm Project and author of Peace in the Storm) shares a real, Catholic framework for what it looks like to live with illness and stay spiritually grounded — even when you’re tired, discouraged, or feel like nothing is changing. Maureen unpacks the paradox that a lot of people know but don’t know how to name: pain, suffering, and joy can coexist. She also breaks down the difference between cure vs. healing, why “why me, God?” can keep us stuck, and how prayer and Scripture can become daily anchors when you’re dealing with invisible battles. In this video, you’ll hear about: The difference between pain vs. suffering (and why that matters spiritually) Joy and spiritual peace — what they are and what they’re not Cure vs. healing (and why Jesus didn’t cure everyone, but intends healing for all) The role of acceptance (without giving up) What St. Pope John Paul II teaches about suffering and spiritual maturity How Scripture + prayer can hold you up when life is physically heavy Why chronic illness is often invisible — and how the Church can respond better The mission of The Peace in the Storm Project and accompaniment for those who suffer Learn more about The Peace in the Storm Project (Mission + Meaning): https://www.thepeaceinthestormproject.com/...
