How do we deal with and attempt to understand God’s presence and overarching love for us when life goes wrong, when we encounter difficulties and tragedies? This noted Benedictine monk and priest shares his personal journeys through troubled times, using the discipline of meditating on single words of Scripture from the New Testament. He skillfully translates from Greek to English to reveal these “buried treasures” with multiple nuances of meaning that give light along difficult paths in life.
