Faith, Suffering, and Intercession

This chapter examines the transformative journey of Takashi Nagai, a Japanese radiologist turned Catholic, who viewed suffering as a pathway to spiritual salvation. It emphasizes the importance of intercessory prayer in the pursuit of peace, particularly in contexts of conflict, while also discussing the balance between prayer and tangible acts of support. The conversation encourages listeners to engage deeply with the complexities of faith, justice, and the hope that arises from believing in the power of prayer amidst trials.
