Suffering in Catholic Literature
The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene and “Revelation” by Flannery O’Connor are known for their depictions of suffering and grace.

When reading these works of literature alongside scripture, we can begin to answer big questions such as, “Why is there suffering in the world?”
