"Suffering is a universal theme that accompanies man at every point on earth: in a certain sense it co-exists with him in the world, and thus demands to be constantly reconsidered...suffering seems to belong to man’s transcendence: it is one of those points in which man is in a certain sense “destined” to go ... beyond himself, and he is called to this in a mysterious way.”
Pope Saint John Paul II, On the Christian Meaning of Human Suffering
Join Dr. Sue Ellen Nolan as she explores suffering and the mystery it contains. Learn the key themes and principles in suffering and how suffering redemptively is a superpower! Learn the three practical steps for suffering well!
This teaching will transform the way that you view suffering and allow you to use suffering as a redemptive tool.
“Suffering holds within it a hidden, transformative treasure, an unrecognized gem. Jesus demonstrates how to suffer in how He walks from Gethsemane to Golgotha. Then, in the Word of the Cross, He raises Suffering to a Redemptive superpower. Only if we give assent to uniting our imperfect suffering to Jesus’ perfect offering can we open to the superpower Redemptive Suffering contains and alter the eternal destiny of those towards whom we unleash love, by offering our suffering for them.”
