Alexander John Shaia - The Four-Fold Path of Transformation (N202)

How do we face change? How do we move through suffering? How do we receive joy? And how do we mature in service? According to psychologist, spiritual director, liturgist and author Alexander Shaia, these four questions are the questions of our lives. They are universal, sequential, and cyclical, and are recognised by every major religious faith and school of psychology and forms the very heart of Christian belief and practice. In fact, Alexander made the startling discovery that each of the four gospels were written to address each of these four questions.

So if we long for transformation, then we need to join the gospel writers in wrestling with these questions. 

Needless to say, this is a very interesting episode!
