Blessed Are Those Who Suffer

Written By John Scherschligt

Happy are those who suffer for the sake of Righteousness

How could suffering make us happy? Here are two good reasons:

A.     Suffering can be good for us because it can empty us of our pride, our self-reliance and our disordered loves, making room in our soul to be filled by God.

B.     Our Suffering can help others. Jesus is inviting us to help him save souls by our suffering. All we need to do is accept it and offer it up what you

  • Did not choose

  • Do not like

  • Cannot change

  • Accept with Trust and Offer it up with love to Jesus.

  • Don’t waste your suffering. Souls are depending on you.

Whatever you face – St. Paul says: Rejoice always, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16

Thank God right now for the cross in your life because it is the most effective means to empty you and fill you with God and to help Him save souls.
