When difficulties befall us, it can difficult not to blame God instead of turning to Him for comfort.

This week Fr. Mike Schmitz, chaplain for Newman Catholic Campus Ministry at the University of Minnesota Duluth, as well as the director of the Office of Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Duluth, discusses this difficult issue.

“​When we’re going through hard times, it’s easy to think we deserve better from God. In this video, Fr. Mike uses a compelling story from the book of Daniel to exemplify the challenging but proper response to adversity. As tough as it may be, finding a way to thank God, no matter the situation, is a sure way to holiness,” reads the video description.
