Prayer for Good Friday

Oh my Lord, my Saviour, my King, what words can express the tragic glory of your passion, which we remember today? You came down from heaven, Lord, you lived a blameless and sinless life, and then you died in agony, oh God, in order that I might be forgiven; such a precious gift that I… Continue reading

‘Why Do We Suffer?’ by Daniel Liderbach (book review)

I am currently reading for an essay entitled ‘Does God Suffer?’, and I have been somewhat sidetracked as I keep finding interesting looking books about human suffering, rather than God’s suffering. Of course, the two subjects and closely linked, and the problem of human suffering fascinates me almost as much as the essay question. In… Continue reading
