Episode description

Reflections on suffering; God's apparent absence and/or disregard; death; the moment he decided to become a Jesuit; and the intersection of art and spirituality.

Joe Hoover, SJ is a religious brother in the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits, working primarily in the arts. He is an actor, playwright and essayist, and his first book - "O Death, Where Is Thy Sting: A Meditation on Suffering" - will be released December of 2020 from Orbis Books. He is also the poetry editor at America Magazine.

At one point, Joe mentions one of his early heroes: Dorothy Day, a progressive Catholic activist.

Here is a link describing one of the cornerstones of Jesuit training: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

And for good measure, once again, his new book: "O Death, Where Is Thy Sting: A Meditation on Suffering" from Orbis Books
