The Meaning of Suffering
SufferingWell
Do you know that as Jesus brought Salvation to this world through His Suffering, Death, and Resurrection, we are called to share in His sacrifice through the crosses we must bear?*
Each one of us is graced with the privilege of joining Jesus on a tiny sliver of His Cross by uniting our sufferings, sacrifices, and temptations with His own.**
Through His Divine Mercy, we are blessed each day with the opportunity to offer the Lord our hardships to alleviate the anguish and sorrow of others, drawing both them and ourselves so much closer to Him!
We invite you to learn more about this miraculous gift. Please view some videos, comment, and/or send us an email:

*New American Bible, revised edition:
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me” (Jesus, Mt 16:24)
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church (Apostle Paul, Col 1:24)
**As expressed through the words of St. Paul the Apostle, St. Pope John Paul II, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Faustina, St. Padre Pio, et al.
Books upon books have been written about the problem of suffering. Fr. Mike isn’t about to reinvent the wheel in this video, but the wisdom he shares in it echoes that of the saints. What did the saints and martyrs know about suffering that enabled them to endure so much of it? Christ didn’t give them some mystical superpower; he simply gave their suffering a purpose. Fr. Mike's videos are now available as podcasts at www.ascensionpresents.com/podcasts.MORE FROM ASCENSION:Ascension Press main website: http://ascensionpress.comAscension Presents website: http://ascensionpresents.comThe Great Adventure Blog: http://biblestudyforcatholics.com/blogSOCIAL MEDIAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AscensionPress/Twitter: http://twitter.com/AscensionPressLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/compa....ny/ascension-pressSu https://www.youtube.com/c/ascensionpresents
