These words about love, about actions of love, acts linked with human suffering, enable us once more to discover, at the basis of all human sufferings, the same redemptive suffering of Christ. This distinction is based upon the double dimension of the human being and indicates the bodily and spiritual element as the immediate or direct subject of suffering. The mystery of the Churchthat body which completes in itself also Christ's crucified and risen bodyindicates at the same time the space or context in which human sufferings complete the sufferings of Christ. Is. In view of all this, we can say that the parable of the Samaritan of the Gospel has become one of the essential elements of moral culture and universally human civilization. These words, spoken by Christ in his conversation with Nicodemus, introduce us into the very heart of God's salvific work. 20, 16; Marc. And this circumstance too clearly Through their sufferings, in a certain sense they repay the infinite price of the Passion and death of Christ, which became the price of our Redemption: at this price the Kingdom of God has been consolidated anew in human history, becoming the definitive prospect of man's earthly existence. Christ goes towards his Passion and death with full awareness of the mission that he has to fulfil precisely in this way. To the suffering brother or sister Christ discloses and gradually reveals the horizons of the Kingdom of God: the horizons of a world converted to the Creator, of a world free from sin, a world being built on the saving power of love. The Apostle Peter will express this truth in the following words of his First Letter: "But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed "(69). He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. Got a hot tip for our calendar? He was despised and rejected by men;a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.

The Resurrection revealed this gloryeschatological glorywhich, in the Cross of Christ, was completely obscured by the immensity of suffering. 18, 18). The family, the school and other education institutions must, if only for humanitarian reasons, work perseveringly for the reawakening and refining of that sensitivity towards one's neighbour and his suffering of which the figure of the Good Samaritan in the Gospel has become a symbol. And this is the virtue of perseverance in bearing whatever disturbs and causes harm. In this dimensionthe dimension of lovethe Redemption which has already been completely accomplished is, in a certain sense, constantly being accomplished. and the good of his works became especially evident in the face of human suffering. This response, like others that reappear in different points of the Gospel, shows how profoundly Christ was imbued by the thought that he had already expressed in the conversation with Nicodemus: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life"(39). Furthermore, he cannot help noticing that the one to whom he puts the question is himself suffering and wishes to answer him from the Cross, from the heart of his own suffering. 3, 13. The motif of suffering and glory has a strictly evangelical characteristic, which becomes clear by reference to the Cross and the Resurrection. Olam HaBa can also mean the spiritual afterlife, and there is debate concerning the eschatological order. In doing this, the individual unleashes hope, which maintains in him the conviction that suffering will not get the better of him, that it will not deprive him of his dignity as a human being, a dignity linked to awareness of the meaning of life. Precisely by means of his Cross he must accomplish the work of salvation. 79 [78], 11; Ps. This work, in the plan of eternal Love, has a redemptive character. For Christ does not answer directly and he does not answer in the abstract this human questioning about the meaning of suffering. This is a difficult question, just as is a question closely akin to it, the question of evil. It is like the opening of a certain interior disposition of the heart, which also has an emotional expression of its own. Perhaps suffering is not wrapped up as much as man is by this mystery, which is an especially impenetrable one. We ask them to support us. The discovery of the salvific meaning of suffering in union with Christ transforms this depressing feeling. 9, 24; Io. Man hears Christ's saving answer as he himself gradually becomes a sharer in the sufferings of Christ. Here we touch upon one of the key-points of all Christian anthropology. Are not all the words he uttered during his agony on Golgotha a proof of this greatness, and especially his words concerning the perpetrators of his crucifixion: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do"(70)? 42 [41], 11; Ps. To the Gospel of suffering there also belongsand in an organic waythe parable of the Good Samaritan. 20, 7), Servo patienti (cfr.

The East Village contains three subsections: Alphabet City, in reference to the single-letter-named avenues that are located to the east For it indicates what the relationship of each of us must be towards our suffering neighbour. To the Romans he writes: " We are fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. In the eyes of the just God, before his judgment, those who share in the suffering of Christ become worthy of this Kingdom. Christ is aware of this, and often speaks to his disciples of the sufferings and death that await him: "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise"(35). Is. It is something good, before which the Church bows down in reverence with all the depth of her faith in the Redemption. He discovers a new dimension, as it were, of his entire life and vocation. He does not discover this meaning at his own human level, but at the level of the suffering of Christ. Salvation means liberation from evil, and for this reason it is closely bound up with the problem of suffering. The Suffering Servantand this in its turn is essential for an analysis of Christ's Passiontakes on himself those sufferings which were spoken of, in a totally voluntary way: "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb,so he opened not his mouth.By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? It also incorporates natural law ethics, which is built on the belief that it is the very nature of humans created in the image of God and capable of morality, Thus in the sufferings inflicted by God upon the Chosen People there is included an invitation of his mercy, which corrects in order to lead to conversion: " these punishments were designed not to destroy but to discipline our people"(26). Get breaking news stories and videos. The sufferings of Christ created the good of the world's redemption. Precisely by means of his Cross he must strike at the roots of evil, planted in the history of man and in human souls. It is heas the interior Master and Guidewho reveals to the suffering brother and sister this wonderful interchange, situated at the very heart of the mystery of the Redemption. This undoubtedly proves that people today pay ever greater and closer attention to the sufferings of their neighbour, seek to understand those sufferings and deal with them with ever greater skill. The world of suffering possesses as it were its own solidarity. 4. This varied list certainly does not exhaust all that has been said and constantly repeated on the theme of suffering by the book of the history of man (this is rather an "unwritten book"), and even more by the book of the history of humanity, read through the history of every human individual. The joy comes from the discovery of the meaning of suffering, and this discovery, even if it is most personally shared in by Paul of Tarsus who wrote these words, is at the same time valid for others. And when he left, he solicitously entrusted the suffering man to the care of the innkeeper, promising to meet any expenses. Christ has led us into this Kingdom through his suffering. The field of human suffering is much wider, more varied, and multi-dimensional. P. 215-722-2300 F. 215-722-3966. He conquered the author of evil, Satan, and his permanent rebellion against the Creator. There are other criteria which go beyond the sphere of description, and which we must introduce when we wish to penetrate the world of human suffering. 19, 1). Nonetheless, this is only one area. The witnesses of the Cross and Resurrection of Christ have handed on to the Church and to mankind a specific Gospel of suffering. But already in itself it is sufficient argument why the answer to the question about the meaning of suffering is not to be unreservedly linked to the moral order, based on justice alone. 11. The second half of our century, in its turn, brings with itas though in proportion to the mistakes and transgressions of our contemporary civilizationsuch a horrible threat of nuclear war that we cannot think of this period except in terms of an incomparable accumulation of sufferings, even to the possible self-destruction of humanity. The suffering has the nature of a test. 44 [43], 10-17; Ps. "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you A servant is not greater than his master.

Therefore he is carrying out an irreplaceable service. During his public activity, he experienced not only fatigue, homelessness, misunderstanding even on the part of those closest to him, but, more than anything, he became progressively more and more isolated and encircled by hostility and the preparations for putting him to death. It can be said that this is "substitutive" suffering; but above all it is "redemptive". 38, 13; Ier. "The holding will call into question many other regulations that protect consumers with respect to credit cards, bank accounts, mortgage loans, debt collection, credit reports, and identity theft," tweeted Chris Peterson, a former enforcement attorney at the CFPB who is While such an answer has a fundamental and transcendent reason and validity, at the same time it is seen to be not only unsatisfactory in cases similar to the suffering of the just man Job, but it even seems to trivialize and impoverish the concept of justice which we encounter in Revelation. It is as deep as man himself, precisely because it manifests in its own way that depth which is proper to man, and in its own way surpasses it. Therefore, the conscious and free violation of this good by man is not only a transgression of the law but at the same time an offence against the Creator, who is the first Lawgiver. It is then that man finds in his suffering interior peace and even spiritual joy. Saint Paul speaks of various sufferings and, in particular, of those in which the first Christians became sharers "for the sake of Christ ". Therefore in those people there is fulfilled the Gospel of suffering, and, at the same time, each of them continues in a certain sense to write it: they write it and proclaim it to the world, they announce it to the world in which they live and to the people of their time. 12. (6) Sic ut Agar timuit (cfr. 31. 73 (72), 21; Iob 16, 13; Lam. In the light of the verses of Isaiah, the Passion of Christ becomes almost more expressive and touching than in the descriptions of the Evangelists themselves. When we put the question in this way, we are always, at least to a certain extent, asking a question about suffering too. The theme of suffering - precisely under the aspect of this salvific meaning - seems to fit profoundly into the context of the Holy Year of the Redemption as an extraordinary Jubilee of the Church. And in the Letter to the Philippians he will even say: "I can do all things in him who strengthens me"(74). If Christ, who knows the interior of man, emphasizes this compassion, this means that it is important for our whole attitude to others' suffering. Suffering is, in itself, an experience of evil. 22. Spellshot repeater, Redeemer's Shield, and Overload visual effects changed. Here are some of Christ's statements on this subject: "They will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. As a witness to her Son's Passion by her presence, and as a sharer in it by her compassion, Mary offered a unique contribution to the Gospel of suffering, by embodying in anticipation the expression of Saint Paul which was quoted at the beginning. In the end, God himself reproves Job's friends for their accusations and recognizes that Job is not guilty. 2, 2. Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed book", some e-books exist without a printed equivalent. One thinks, finally, of war. Every individual, through personal suffering, constitutes not only a small part of that a world", but at the same time" that world" is present in him as a finite and unrepeatable entity. In weakness he manifested his power, and in humiliation he manifested all his messianic greatness. Assuming then that throughout his earthly life man walks in one manner or another on the long path of suffering, it is precisely on this path that the Church at all times - and perhaps especially during the Holy Year of the Redemption - should meet man. 31 [30], 13; Ps. In the Letter to the Colossians we read the words which constitute as it were the final stage of the spiritual journey in relation to suffering: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church"(78). WebAn ebook (short for electronic book), also known as an e-book or eBook, is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. Yet, because of the relationship between the Resurrection and his Passion and death, he has at the same time overcome the world by his suffering. And in this, love is manifested, the infinite love both of that only-begotten Son and of the Father who for this reason "gives" his Son. Ps. (18) Cfr. Both questions are difficult, when an individual puts them to another individual, when people put them to other people, as also when man puts them to God. Ps. Paul expresses this in various places. In order to discover the profound meaning of suffering, following the revealed word of God, we must open ourselves wide to the human subject in his manifold potentiality. WebWe would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us. The Book of Job poses in an extremely acute way the question of the "why" of suffering; it also shows that suffering strikes the innocent, but it does not yet give the solution to the problem. 1, 8; Ier. In this Body, Christ wishes to be united with every individual, and in a special way he is united with those who suffer. In his suffering, sins are cancelled out precisely because he alone as the only-begotten Son could take them upon himself, accept them with that love for the Father which overcomes the evil of every sin; in a certain sense he annihilates this evil in the spiritual space of the relationship between God and humanity, and fills this space with good. This special respect for every form of human suffering must be set at the beginning of what will be expressed here later by the deepest need of the heart, and also by the deep imperative of faith. It is the same when we deal with death. 99 (98), 4; Ps. Often, someone who is considered a "true prophet" by some people is simultaneously considered a "false prophet" by others, even within the same religion as the "prophet" in question.In a wider So glorify God in your body "(57). Even when man brings suffering on himself, when he is its cause, this suffering remains something passive in its metaphysical essence. Christ, - without any fault of his own - took on himself "the total evil of sin". The institutions are very important and indispensable; nevertheless, no institution can by itself replace the human heart, human compassion, human love or human initiative, when it is a question of dealing with the sufferings of another. In the vocabulary of the Old Testament, suffering and evil are identified with each other. Gen. 30, 1), Annae, Samuelis matris (cfr. And therefore Christ severely reproves Peter when the latter wants to make him abandon the thoughts of suffering and of death on the Cross(36). The person feels condemned to receive help and assistance from others, and at the same time seems useless to himself. Finally, family help means both acts of love of neighbour done to members of the same family, and mutual help between families. 10, 1-7; cfr. Web(1) POPE JOHN PAUL II, Discourse to those taking part in the 81st Congress of the Italian Society of Internal Medicine and the 82nd Congress of the Italian Society of General Surgery, 27 October 1980: AAS 72 (1980) 1126. This is called Tikkun Olam ("Fixing the World"). While the first great chapter of the Gospel of suffering is written down, as the generations pass, by those who suffer persecutions for Christ's sake, simultaneously another great chapter of this Gospel unfolds through the course of history. In the Second Letter to Timothy we read: "And therefore I suffer as I do. He healed the sick, consoled the afflicted, fed the hungry, freed people from deafness, from blindness, from leprosy, from the devil and from various physical disabilities, three times he restored the dead to life. This also explains the exhortation in the First Letter of Peter: "Yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God"(75). WebIn the Judaic world view, the meaning of life is to elevate the physical world ('Olam HaZeh') and prepare it for the world to come ('Olam HaBa'), the messianic era. From this point of view, suffering appears as a "justified evil". When Christ says: "My God, My God, why have you abandoned me? It is a question about the cause, the reason, and equally, about the purpose of suffering, and, in brief, a question about its meaning. 1, 20. In the midst of what constitutes the psychological form of suffering there is always an experience of evil, which causes the individual to suffer. At the same time, the very word "gives" ("gave") indicates that this liberation must be achieved by the only-begotten Son through his own suffering. It is suffering, more than anything else, which clears the way for the grace which transforms human souls. But if at the same time in this weakness there is accomplished his lifting up, confirmed by the power of the Resurrection, then this means that the weaknesses of all human sufferings are capable of being infused with the same power of God manifested in Christ's Cross. The mystery of the Redemption of the world is in an amazing way rooted in suffering, and this suffering in turn finds in the mystery of the Redemption its supreme and surest point of reference. 19. This feeling not only consumes the person interiorly, but seems to make him a burden to others. We here find ourselvesand we must clearly realize this in our shared reflection on this problemfaced with a completely new dimension of our theme. And the words which she heard from his lips were a kind of solemn handing-over of this Gospel of suffering so that it could be proclaimed to the whole community of believers. In this double aspect he has completely revealed the meaning of suffering. And so there should come together in spirit beneath the Cross on Calvary all suffering people who believe in Christ, and particularly those who suffer because of their faith in him who is the Crucified and Risen One, so that the offering of their sufferings may hasten the fulfilment of the prayer of the Saviour himself that all may be one(102). This is not all: the Divine Redeemer wishes to penetrate the soul of every sufferer through the heart of his holy Mother, the first and the most exalted of all the redeemed. Following the parable of the Gospel, we could say that suffering, which is present under so many different forms in our human world, is also present in order to unleash love in the human person, that unselfish gift of one's "I" on behalf of other people, especially those who suffer. This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you are suffering"(66). 18. In fact, Christ, the final Adam, by the revelation of the mystery of the Father and his love, fully reveals man to himself and makes his supreme calling clear"(100). Thus, with this openness to every human suffering, Christ has accomplished the world's Redemption through his own suffering. Only within this radius and dimension of the Church as the Body of Christ, which continually develops in space and time, can one think and speak of "what is lacking" in the sufferings of Christ. This good in itself is inexhaustible and infinite. 24. Though it is not licit to apply here the narrow criterion of direct dependance (as Job's three friends did), it is equally true that one cannot reject the criterion that, at the basis of human suffering, there is a complex involvement with sin. 14. Whereas our consideration has so far concentrated primarily and in a certain sense exclusively on suffering in its multiple temporal dimension (as also the sufferings of the just man Job), the words quoted above from Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus refer to suffering in its fundamental and definitive meaning. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord"(93). edam Ier. The name "Good Samaritan" fits every individual who is sensitive to the sufferings of others, who "is moved" by the misfortune of another. Marc. And if the Lord consents to test Job with suffering, he does it to demonstrate the latter's righteousness. How much there is of "the Good Samaritan" in the profession of the doctor, or the nurse, or others similar! In the terrible battle between the forces of good and evil, revealed to our eyes by our modern world, may your suffering in union with the Cross of Christ be victorious! But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?(37)". This glory must be acknowledged not only in the martyrs for the faith but in many others also who, at times, even without belief in Christ, suffer and give their lives for the truth and for a just cause. The theme of suffering in a special way demands to be faced in the context of the Holy Year of the Redemption, and this is so, in the first place, because the Redemption was accomplished through the Cross of Christ, that is, through his suffering. The eloquence of the parable of the Good Samaritan, and of the whole Gospel, is especially this: every individual must feel as if called personally to bear witness to love in suffering. Christ's words about the Final Judgment enable us to understand this in all the simplicity and clarity of the Gospel. Workers at the Inhauma cemetery in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, carry the coffin containing the remains of 89-year-old Irodina Pinto Ribeiro on Friday, June 18, 2021. The mission of the only-begotten Son consists in conquering sin and death. 137 [136]). Post an Event For he is aware that he has not deserved such punishment, and in fact he speaks of the good that he has done during his life. 12, 10) confusi sunt. 73 [72], 3-14), tum Qoelet (cfr. 1, 6-10), temptatio. For, whoever suffers in union with Christ just as the Apostle Paul bears his "tribulations" in union with Christ not only receives from Christ that strength already referred to but also "completes" by his suffering "what is lacking in Christ's afflictions". 31 (30), 10-11; Ps. 38 [37], 12; Ps. On the Cross, Christ attained and fully accomplished his mission: by fulfilling the will of the Father, he at the same time fully realized himself. Even the very point of departure differs: people react to suffering in different ways. Suffering seems in some way to share in the characteristics of this nature. At the same time, however, this Book shows with all firmness that the principles of this order cannot be applied in an exclusive and superficial way. Within each form of suffering endured by man, and at the same time at the basis of the whole world of suffering, there inevitably arises the question: why? Finally, this parable, through its essential content, will enter into those disturbing words of the Final Judgment, noted by Matthew in his Gospel: "Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was in prison and you came to me"(95). 22, 4; Ier. I now end the present considerations on suffering in the year in which the Church is living the extraordinary Jubilee linked to the anniversary of the Redemption. Job has not been punished, there was no reason for inflicting a punishment on him, even if he has been subjected to a grievous trial. Sir. 3, 27 s.; cfr. These transcendental roots of evil are grounded in sin and death: for they are at the basis of the loss of eternal life. It is often awaited even as a liberation from the suffering of this life. Love is also the richest source of the meaning of suffering, which always remains a mystery: we are conscious of the insufficiency and inadequacy of our explanations. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors;yet he bore the sin of many,and made intercession for the transgressors". They also have an ever greater capacity and specialization in this area. Together with this horrible weight, encompassing the "entire" evil of the turning away from God which is contained in sin, Christ, through the divine depth of his filial union with the Father, perceives in a humanly inexpressible way this suffering which is the separation, the rejection by the Father, the estrangement from God. Considering its "evangelical" content, we are inclined to think here of a vocation rather than simply a profession. WebRoom 1318-19,13/F Hollywood Plaza, 610 Nathan Road Mong Kok, Kowloon HK For in suffering is contained the greatness of a specific mystery. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life"(27). The Apostle Paul will say: "All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted"(87). Even more than this description of the Passion, what strikes us in the words of the Prophet is the depth of Christ's sacrifice. "More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us"(76). It must be recognized that they are very numerous, and one must express satisfaction at the fact that, thanks to them, the fundamental moral values, such as the value of human solidarity, the value of Christian love of neighbour, form the framework of social life and interhuman relationships and combat on this front the various forms of hatred, violence, cruelty, contempt for others, or simple "insensitivity", in other words, indifference towards one's neighbour and his sufferings. 9. In the Letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul deals still more fully with the theme of this "birth of power in weakness", this spiritual tempering of man in the midst of trials and tribulations, which is the particular vocation of those who share in Christ's sufferings. With these and similar words the witnesses of the New Covenant speak of the greatness of the Redemption, accomplished through the suffering of Christ. The purpose of penance is to overcome evil, which under different forms lies dormant in man.

One can say that these words on abandonment are born at the level of that inseparable union of the Son with the Father, and are born because the Father "laid on him the iniquity of us all"(48). 28. He said very clearly: "If any man would come after me let him take up his cross daily ''(81), and before his disciples he placed demands of a moral nature that can only be fulfilled on condition that they should "deny themselves"(82). Love is: also the fullest source of the answer to the question of the meaning of suffering. And thinking of all those who by their knowledge and ability provide many kinds of service to their suffering neighbour, we cannot but offer them words of thanks and gratitude. In him God has confirmed his desire to act especially through suffering, which is man's weakness and emptying of self, and he wishes to make his power known precisely in this weakness and emptying of self. Gethsemane is the place where precisely this suffering, in all the truth expressed by the Prophet concerning the evil experienced in it, is revealed as it were definitively before the eyes of Christ's soul. They also foreshadow the words of Saint Paul: "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin"(49). God gives his only-begotten Son so that man "should not perish" and the meaning of these words " should not perish" is precisely specified by the words that follow: "but have eternal life". No less valuable is individual activity, especially by people who are better prepared for it in regard to the various kinds of human suffering which can only be alleviated in an individual or personal way. In his messianic activity in the midst of Israel, Christ drew increasingly closer to the world of human suffering. Faith in sharing in the suffering of Christ brings with it the interior certainty that the suffering person "completes what is lacking in Christ's afflictions"; the certainty that in the spiritual dimension of the work of Redemption he is serving, like Christ, the salvation of his brothers and sisters. If these words refer to everything that concerns the mystery of man, then they certainly refer in a very special way to human suffering. Does this mean that the Redemption achieved by Christ is not complete? Precisely at this point the "revealing of man to himself and making his supreme vocation clear" is particularly indispensable. Ps. Bronze: Visiting Angels. To this grace many saints, such as Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Ignatius of Loyola and others, owe their profound conversion. But in order to perceive the true answer to the "why" af suffering, we must look to the revelation of divine love, the ultimate source of the meaning of everything that exists. As a result of Christ's salvific work, man exists on earth with the hope of eternal life and holiness. 4, 19; Iob 30, 27; Lam. The East Village contains three subsections: Alphabet City, in reference to the single-letter-named avenues that are located to the east For through faith the Cross reaches man together with the Resurrection: the mystery of the Passion is contained in the Paschal Mystery. In this meeting man "becomes the way for the Church", and this way is one of the most important ones. But when it is completely accomplished and becomes the light of human life, it is particularly blessed. 22. The witnesses of the Cross and Resurrection were convinced that "through many tribulations we must enter the Kingdom of God"(65). It can be said that the above considerations now brings us directly to Gethsemane and Golgotha, where the Song of the Suffering Servant, contained in the Book of Isaiah, was fulfilled. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"(86). He must "stop", "sympathize", just like the Samaritan of the Gospel parable.

Help which is, as far as possible, effective. 38, 1-3). And so the Church sees in all Christ's suffering brothers and sisters as it were a multiple subject of his supernatural power. She truly has a special title to be able to claim that she "completes in her flesh"as already in her heart"what is lacking in Christ's afflictions ". 6. In itself human suffering constitutes as it were a specific "world" which exists together with man, which appears in him and passes, and sometimes does not pass, but which consolidates itself and becomes deeply rooted in him. We can say that he gives himself, his very "I", opening this "I" to the other person. Gradually, as the individual takes up his cross, spiritually uniting himself to the Cross of Christ, the salvific meaning of suffering is revealed before him. And he does this on the basis of his own opinion. In the Paschal Mystery Christ began the union with man in the community of the Church. 5, 30; Rom. No man can add anything to it. In the wake of his victory over sin, he also takes away the dominion of death, by his Resurrection beginning the process of the future resurrection of the body. The world of human suffering unceasingly calls for, so to speak, another world: the world of human love; and in a certain sense man owes to suffering that unselfish love which stirs in his heart and actions. It completes that suffering just as the Church completes the redemptive work of Christ. The Prophet, who has rightly been called "the Fifth Evangelist", presents in this Song an image of the sufferings of the Servant with a realism as acute as if he were seeing them with his own eyes: the eyes of the body and of the spirit. Admissions Fax 866-292-4551 [email protected] In the messianic programme of Christ, which is at the same time the programme of the Kingdom of God, suffering is present in the world in order to release love, in order to give birth to works of love towards neighbour, in order to transform the whole of human civilization into a "civilization of love". He was sensitive to every human suffering, whether of the body or of the soul. The Samaritan, on the other hand, "saw him and had compassion on him. Let there also gather beneath the Cross all people of good will, for on this Cross is the "Redeemer of man", the Man of Sorrows, who has taken upon himself the physical and moral sufferings of the people of all times, so that in love they may find the salvific meaning of their sorrow and valid answers to all of their questions. But precisely through this suffering he accomplishes the Redemption, and can say as he breathes his last: "It is finished"(50). Thus, although the world of suffering exists "in dispersion", at the same time it contains within itself a. singular challenge to communion and solidarity. Nevertheless, the Good Samaritan of Christ's parable does not stop at sympathy and compassion alone. Why is there evil in the world? It is difficult to list here all the types and different circumstances of "Good Samaritan" work which exist in the Church and society. Two other men were passing along the same road; one was a priest and the other a Levite, but each of them " saw him and passed by on the other side".

The very participation in Christ's suffering finds, in these apostolic expressions, as it were a twofold dimension. Paul writes in the Second Letter to the Corinthians: "I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me"(72). There were many messianic texts in the Old Testament which foreshadowed the sufferings of the future Anointed One of God. Everyone who stops beside the suffering of another person, whatever form it may take, is a Good Samaritan. (4) Cfr. Faith enables the author of these words to know that love which led Christ to the Cross. Christ does not explain in the abstract the reasons for suffering, but before all else he says: "Follow me!". By his suffering on the Cross, Christ reached the very roots of evil, of sin and death. 2. Christ's Resurrection has revealed "the glory of the future age" and, at the same time, has confirmed "the boast of the Cross": the glory that is hidden in the very suffering of Christ and which has been and is often mirrored in human suffering, as an expression of man's spiritual greatness. The God of Revelation is the Lawgiver and Judge to a degree that no temporal authority can see. By his salvific work, the only-begotten Son liberates man from sin and death.

Their first school was opened in Waterford, Ireland, in 1802. This does not however mean that suffering in the psychological sense is not marked by a specific "activity". In a superabundant way Christ carries out this messianic programme of his mission: he goes about "doing good"(94). Paul writes: "That I may know him (Christ) and the power of his Resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that if possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead"(64). The words: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt"(45), and later: "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done"(46), have a manifold eloquence. 15, 17) atque Servus patiens (cfr.

This answer has been given by God to man in the Cross of Jesus Christ. About the theme of suffering these two reasons seem to draw particularly close to each other and to become one: the need of the heart commands us to overcome fear, and the imperative of faithformulated, for example, in the words of Saint Paul quoted at the beginningprovides the content, in the name of which and by virtue of which we dare to touch what appears in every man so intangible: for man, in his suffering, remains an intangible mystery. Ps. 17 (18), 10; Ps. 23, 9; Ps. The more he shares in this love, man rediscovers himself more and more fully in suffering: he rediscovers the "soul" which he thought he had "lost"(77) because of suffering.

In that "cosmic" struggle between the spiritual powers of good and evil, spoken of in the Letter to the Ephesians(89), human sufferings, united to the redemptive suffering of Christ, constitute a special support for the powers of good, and open the way to the victory of these salvific powers. Man suffers on account of evil, which is a certain lack, limitation or distortion of good. Not only does it accompany human suffering, but it seems even to determine its human content, what makes suffering precisely human suffering. 1, 20-22; Ps. This world of suffering, divided into many, very many subjects, exists as it were "in dispersion". In the Book of Job the question has found its most vivid expression. Zac. 13. And the Apostle Paul in the Letter to the Galatians will say: "He gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age"(56), and in the First Letter to the Corinthians: "You were bought with a price.

Yes, suffering has been singularly present in that victory over the world which was manifested in the Resurrection. She likewise bows down with all the depth of that faith with which she embraces within herself the inexpressible mystery of the Body of Christ. And even if we must use great caution in judging man's suffering as a consequence of concrete sins (this is shown precisely by the example of the just man Job), nevertheless suffering cannot be divorced from the sin of the beginnings, from what Saint John calls "the sin of the world"(29), from the sinful background of the personal actions and social processes in human history. If the suffering "is measured" by the evil suffered, then the words of the Prophet enable us to understand the extent of this evil and suffering with which Christ burdened himself. And the more the Church feels the need to have recourse to the value of human sufferings for the salvation of the world. Iob 19, 18; 30, 1. Ier. 25. Ps. Man suffers in different ways, ways not always considered by medicine, not even in its most advanced specializations. It can be said that man in a special fashion becomes the way for the Church when suffering enters his life.

We invoke all the Saints, who down the centuries in a special way shared in the suffering of Christ. The same Song of the Suffering Servant in the Book of Isaiah leads us, through the following verses, precisely in the direction of this question and answer: "When he makes himself an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand; he shall see the fruit of the travail of his soul and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant.make many to be accounted righteous; and he shall bear their iniquities.

Following a bumpy launch week that saw frequent server trouble and bloated player queues, Blizzard has announced that over 25 million Overwatch 2 players have logged on in its first 10 days. Suffering is certainly part of the mystery of man. In it we must also pose anew the question about the meaning of suffering, and read in it, to its very depths, the answer to this question. "Through Christ and in Christ, the riddles of sorrow and death grow meaningful"(101). Ed has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches, trained pastors and church planters on six continents, holds two masters degrees and two doctorates, and As though by a continuation of that motherhood which by the power of the Holy Spirit had given him life, the dying Christ conferred upon the ever Virgin Mary a new kind of motherhoodspiritual and universaltowards all human beings, so that every individual, during the pilgrimage of faith, might remain, together with her, closely united to him unto the Cross, and so that every form of suffering, given fresh life by the power of this Cross, should become no longer the weakness of man but the power of God. Iob 19, 19), sive Psaltes nonnulli (cfr. The more a person is threatened by sin, the heavier the structures of sin which today's world brings with it, the greater is the eloquence which human suffering possesses in itself. These are the words of the Apostle Peter in his First Letter: "You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with the perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot". This refers to physical sufferings, but it is even more true when it is a question of the many kinds of moral suffering, and when it is primarily the soul that is suffering. And it is well known that concerning this question there not only arise many frustrations and conflicts in the relations of man with God, but it also happens that people reach the point of actually denying God. His words also attest to this unique and incomparable depth and intensity of suffering which only the man who is the only-begotten Son could experience; they attest to that depth and intensity which the prophetic words quoted above in their own way help us to understand. In treating the human person as a psychological and physical "whole", the Old Testament often links "moral" sufferings with the pain of specific parts of the body: the bones(17), kidneys(18), liver(19), viscera(20), heart(21). The way that leads to the Kingdom of heaven is "hard and narrow", and Christ contrasts it to the "wide and easy" way that "leads to destruction"(83). Ps. The Redeemer himself wrote this Gospel, above all by his own suffering accepted in love, so that man "should not perish but have eternal life"(80). The gospel paradox of weakness and strength often speaks to us from the pages of the Letters of Saint Paul, a paradox particularly experienced by the Apostle himself and together with him experienced by all who share Christ's sufferings. Yes, it seems to be part of the very essence of Christ's redemptive suffering that this suffering requires to be unceasingly completed. After the words in Gethsemane come the words uttered on Golgotha, words which bear witness to this depthunique in the history of the worldof the evil of the suffering experienced. And all those who suffer have been called once and for all to become sharers "in Christ's sufferings"(98), just as all have been called to "complete" with their own suffering "what is lacking in Christ's afflictions"(99). It is not without reason that, also in ordinary speech, any activity on behalf of the suffering and needy is called "Good Samaritan" work. (14) Talia passi sunt tum Psaltes (cfr. Saint Paul speaks of such joy in the Letter to the Colossians: "I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake"(88). Medicine, as the science and also the art of healing, discovers in the vast field of human sufferings the best known area, the one identified with greater precision and relatively more counterbalanced by the methods of "reaction" (that is, the methods of therapy). If one becomes a sharer in the sufferings of Christ, this happens because Christ has opened his suffering to man, because he himself in his redemptive suffering has become, in a certain sense, a sharer in all human sufferings. Through the Resurrection, he manifests the victorious power of suffering, and he wishes to imbue with the conviction of this power the hearts of those whom he chose as Apostles and those whom he continually chooses and sends forth. It lives and develops as the body of Christ, the Church, and in this dimension every human suffering, by reason of the loving union with Christ, completes the suffering of Christ. In so far as man becomes a sharer in Christ's sufferingsin any part of the world and at any time in historyto that extent he in his own way completes the suffering through which Christ accomplished the Redemption of the world. Suffering, in fact, is always a trialat times a very hard oneto which humanity is subjected.
