In this Bible study on 2 Corinthians 1:5–7, Fr. Gabriel continues discussing the mystery of suffering and consolation in Christ. He explains that to suffer with Christ is to also be comforted by Him—not in the sense of ease, but through His abiding presence. Fr. Gabriel emphasizes that this comfort allows us to bear suffering without resentment and equips us to console others. Christian suffering, when united to Christ, becomes meaningful and transformative.
