The Value of Suffering

 Fr. Thomas Keating

Suffering tends to move us into areas of deep understanding faster than anything else if you can accept it.  However if you have no understanding of the value of suffering, it can be devastating. Suffering that fails to teach leads to despair. That's why we need to reduce everybody's suffering in so far as we can, even to the point of taking the suffering of the world upon ourselves, which is what Jesus did.
