Description
"Suffering is a mystery. It is an unavoidable reality of human life on earth, which disorients us and tests our souls. It leads us to ask questions about God and his goodness. Though we seek relief from our pain and comfort in our sorrow, suffering cannot be solved by mere human effort. Instead, Jesus invites us to journey with him, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23 ESV-CE). As we joyfully accept his call to self-denial and reliance on God, suffering can become redemptive, conforming us to Christ in his salvific suffering. This book explores the personal and spiritual dimensions of suffering, explains Catholic teaching on its redemptive value and reveals how suffering can go from feeling useless to transforming us to be like God. It shows how we can cope with our sufferings by integrating them into our life story and even choose small sufferings for the purpose of spiritual growth. Wrestling with sorrow on earth prepares us for death, which is the doorway to eternal life"--
