Why does God allow wounds — and what does He do with them? In this episode, Fr Columba explores the mystery of suffering, scars, and vulnerability through the lives of the saints and the wounds of Christ. He shares how God meets us precisely in our deepest pain — not with quick fixes, but with His healing presence. By bringing our real, wounded selves to God and others, we allow His love to shine through us. This is not weakness — it’s the place of greatest strength and transformation.
