⁣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!

*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.




“Offer it up” has made a cliche of a profound reality. When we are suffering, that cliche may be the last thing we want to hear. Jackie brings us back to its core meaning, which is to give purpose to our suffering by uniting it to Christ’s passion, and making our suffering a prayer for someone else’s salvation or healing—as Christ did for us. Jackie discusses how the saints knew the power that suffering can have to bring about the conversion of lost souls, and shares how offering up her labor pains for the salvation of a loved one once helped pull her through a tough day of labor.“It is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him” (Romans 8:16-17).Quote from St. Faustina:"If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering ... You will save more souls through prayer and suffering than will a missionary through his teachings and sermons alone."
