My dear, the suffering is a gift from God. Christ’s mission on earth was to save the world through suffering, and suffering brings a lot of humility. To run away from our own suffering is wrong. You’re truly free when you fight, when you are present on the cross. Suffering brings a deep wisdom and makes us seriously think about our salvation. The question arises: how does our heart react to the suffering around us? And the main question that will be posed to the frightening court is: Why we didn’t pay more attention to our nearest?
