ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, to address the question, How to move forward when tested?

I reflect on some key questions from the Book of Tobit:

1. Can a sin, and hence its punishment, be passed down from one generation to another?

2. How does "original sin" transmit to us from Adam & Eve?

3. How should we move forward wth suffering?

4. How do we minister those who are suffering?

The Bible I am reading from is the New American Bible or the NAB online version taken from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops or the USCCB website: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/tobit/13. For the Book of Tobit, I also refer to the online version of the Douay-Rheims Bible – which is a translation from the Latin Vulgate, whereas the NAB is translated from the Septuagint or the Greek version.
