Suffering Transforms Us
Suffering is to be found in every phase of life
Will be evident in the life of anyone who follows Father Christ
It is not a punishment or penalty
But an ordinary part of earthly existence
Patient suffering can be a shock absorber
That helps us over the potholes
Rough places of life without becoming all shaken up
When we accept suffering without constantly complaining
We weaken their negative impact
Wheather physical,
Mental
Emotional huts
The better we endure the cross
The more Father Christlike we become
Accepting sufferings means
Not running towards it but through it
Father Christ speaks of a mother
Forgetting her labor pains once child is born
Some saintly people have welcomed suffering
As a way of imitating Father Christ
Proving their love for Him
Savior has said we will save our souls
Through patient endurance.
Thanks Father Christ for Your suffering to save us
