Suffering is inevitable. We are all going to suffer. We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people…we do not yet know the completeness of Divine Love and the way God created the world and each other. God did so for all to live in harmony but when sin entered the world, all bets were off. Suffering is part of the mystery of life. Jesus commanded us to “pick up your cross and follow me.” How do we do this? How do we endure the suffering and at the same time love and trust God?
