The second reading for today’s
Mass, from Hebrews: For we do not have a
high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has
similarly been tested in every way without sin.
Do you get how marvelous that
is?!!! There is no trial that you or I
ever have to endure that we cannot find by looking at the crucifix and by
studying the Gospels. I take the liberty of extending that passage to refer to
suffering as well. The wonderful things about Christian truth is that we have a
God who suffers with us, who knows about suffering not by means of his
unbounded intellect, but in a far more important way: through personal
experience.
They say that “a sorrow shared
is half a sorrow.” Well then, always remember where you need to bring your
sorrow. And your pain. And your weakness. And anything else you need to bring.
