Why are Christians encouraged to embrace suffering? Is there really any value to suffering? How can I better process suffering in my life? What does suffering well with Christ look like? What practical steps can I take to better utilize my sufferings for the salvation of souls?
Over the course of 11 days, your parish family will provide readings to help you slowly and prayerfully begin processing suffering and its place in the Christian life. The first four meditations lay the basic groundwork for understanding suffering. Meditations five through ten deal with how we should respond to the suffering we experience. The final meditation is a reminder of where all this is heading.
