Tragedy, Persecution, and the Catholic Call to Holiness | Fr. Shenan Boquet

In this episode, Fr. Shenan Boquet discusses how Catholics can respond to tragedy and live as witnesses to the hope of Christ in a world that often rejects God and human dignity. From school shootings and senseless violence to the anniversary of 9/11, this conversation explores how the City of God and the City of Man (St. Augustine’s framework) can help us understand today’s culture and guide us to be faithful disciples.

Fr. Boquet shares insights on:

• How Christians can find peace and strength in times of tragedy.
• The meaning of St. Augustine’s City of God vs. City of Man.
• Why persecution—both big and small—is part of the Christian journey.
• The importance of practicing God’s presence daily.
• Practical ways Catholics can be light in the darkness and bring the culture of life into the culture of death.
