Suffering

What Every Catholic Should Know

By: Mark Giszczak

Narrated by: Scott Russell

Just as Job was tried, all of us are tested by suffering. It comes to us in many different forms: grief about the past, pain in the present, and sadness about what might have been. The personal dimension of suffering means that it marks our experience and, in some ways, makes us who we are.

Coping with suffering as Christians includes certain spiritual practices that lead us to surrender our lives more fully to the Lord. By offering our suffering as a spiritual sacrifice, joined intentionally to the suffering of Christ through prayer, we engage with the most profound Christian teaching about suffering: that it is redemptive. Suffering can transform us to be like God.

Very helpful

Best I’ve heard on suffering. Very thankful I found it. I hope more will find it helpful as well.

Key Concepts for Sainthood

If one were to pair this book along with "Be Healed" from Bob Schuchts, I think those would be game changers of being able to dive into the life of Christ more deeply in Scripture and Sacramentally.

Excellent

Well rounded, easy to understand, covers difficult topics yet is rooted in the truth of Christ's death and resurrection.
