Suffering is a reality common to all of us. There are many forms of suffering: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and relational. In order to cope with the pain of being human and endure, we need meaning.
In this timely and important book, Father Cedric will explore the varieties of human suffering all of us are going through. Having “skin in the game” he will offer you perspectives from the meaning he has found in his own tribulations as well as from the sufferings of others.
Some of the topics covered in this volume:
Because God is with us, you can do whatever it is you need to do! God is at work preparing you for the glory to come. The sufferings of the present aren’t worth comparing with the glory to come! We all have thorns, but because of grace, they will be turned into roses.
