As Pope John Paul II has made clear in The Christian Meaning of Human Suffering,we must have an authentic Christian understanding of suffering in order to accept it. For pain and suffering affect everyone. But the author shows that far from being meaningless and sterile, suffering can be an occasion for grace, interior growth, and conversion.
In the course of his journey into the mystery of suffering the author raises and answers deep questions such as: How can believers integrate suffering with their lives? What can we make of suffering to become a better person? The book contains many reflections on suffering that will help people understand and find value in it.
