This is indeed a grace, if you endure the pain of unjust suffering because you are conscious of God.
-1 Pt 2:19
Reflection:
Suffering is a necessary ingredient of holiness. Love is like it.
The love that Christ teaches us and that He first lived to give us an example is a merciful love, a love that atones and saves through suffering.
-Pope John Paul II
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, so often when people are in pain, they feel as if they are abandoned or are being punished. Help me to see Your love in those moments of doubt and join my suffering to Your own.
