On this weeks podcast we are joined by Sr Phyllis Moynihan who gives us a reflection on grief taking the account from the gospel of Luke of the death of Lazarus. We have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends on the liturgical calendar including Saints of the Week and we also went through some up coming resources for Advent (listed in the notes at the end). As we come towards the end of the liturgical calendar, the gospel puts before us the teaching of Jesus to his disciples about enduring the travails of the world and trusting in God (Luke 21:5-19). Lord if you were here, my brother would not have died Grief is a difficult journey to comes to us all and it is a time in which God can seem very far away. On this weeks podcast Sr Phyllis Moynihan reflects on that sense of aloneness and deep darkness and how even when we don't feel it, God is there in the darkness with us taking us through Jesus' own experience of grief of a loved one with the death of his friend Lazarus.
