Creative Catholicism - Thinking Out Loud - Episode 26 - Estrangement From Ourselves

Father James Grant reflects on ageing, loss, and faith, challenging the idea of old age as a carefree “golden time.” Sharing the story of his late wife Dolores, he explores how suffering and loss can become paths to spiritual renewal. Drawing on Christ’s passion, he suggests that as we let go of worldly attachments and self-centered desires, we grow closer to God—finding in estrangement from our former selves the beginning of a deeper, resurrected life.
