In today’s episode, we’re going to look at the role of the Holy Spirit in tribulation. In this series, we’ve shown the context that St. Paul was writing this first epistle of Thessalonians. St. Paul was writing to a brand new church full of new Christians in Thessalonica, who were experiencing persecution, affliction, and tribulation!
Section 675 of the CCC states that “Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial (Great Tribulation) that will shake the faith of many believers.”
How did the new Christians in Thessalonica handle tribulation? How did they stand strong in the midst of persecution? What was it that got them through? How can we apply it to the tribulation that stands ahead of the Church today? All of these questions and more will be answered in today’s episode.
