How can we learn to better accept the suffering in our lives this Lent? Why, especially during Holy Week, does the Church urge us to contemplate the suffering of Christ? EWTN's Franciscan University Presents offers a special Lenten episode to discuss these perennial questions. Father Paul Keller, O.P., Author and Professor of Theology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West, is the special guest for April's show, "Redemptive Suffering." Joining him with host Fr. Michael Scanlon, TOR, will be paneslists Dr. Regis Martin and Dr. Scott Hahn.
