Making Our Suffering Count!

This life can be hard. Very hard. Very painful at times. Sometimes our suffering comes in physical pain. Sometimes it comes in our emotional pain. Sometimes it just comes.

But there is one thing that we don’t always get taught. Our suffering can be offered up to Jesus. In my case, I have always offered it up to Jesus and Mary for the “conversion of others”. We don’t want anyone to be left behind. And we know that Jesus and Mary do not want that either.

But there is another reason to offer up any pain or suffering. It’s because it makes it so much easier to bear.

Because for now our pain and suffering has a purpose. A good purpose.
