This year's Jesuit Lenten Podcast Series looks at Reversals: Finding God in times of crisis and change.
The Victorian bushfires and floods in Queensland have reminded us how vulnerable our communities are to disaster. The rebuilding of lives for those affected is only just beginning. But many others are also facing uncertainty in their lives, either through economic hardship as the result of financial crisis, or personal issues such as relationship breakdown and life-changing illness.
Facing these challenges requires faith and hope. The promise of Easter is that God is present in these difficult times, and that He shares in our pain and offers us solace. But how do we experience this presence?
