THE JOY OF SUFFERING: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE B, 2021

The joy of suffering in the Christian way of living is total submission to do the will of God. The suffering of a Christian is never a curse, punishment from God. Nor it is due to his sinfulness or as a result of the carelessness of God. God is not stoic or sadist when it comes to our suffering. Instead, our sufferings are proofs of his love, grace and redemption to do his holy will.
