SUMMARY:Weekday
DESCRIPTION:THE MEANING OF SUFFERING IN THE\nLIGHT OF THE MIRACLES AT\nLOURDES\nBy Pope St John Paul II 5\n◊◊◊\nThe reality of faith\, of hope and of charity\, the reality of suffering\nsanctified and sanctifying. The reality of the presence of the Mother of God in\nthe mystery of Christ and His Church on earth: a presence which is particularly\nalive in that elect portion of the church which consists of the sick and the\nsuffering. \nThese persons\, if animated by faith\, turn to Lourdes. Why? Because they\nknow that there\, as at Cana\, “There is the Mother of Jesus” and where She is\,\nHer Son cannot be absent. Sick of all sorts go on pilgrimage to Lourdes\, born up\nby hope that\, through Mary\, Christ’s saving power – reveals itself in the\nspiritual sphere above all. \nIt is in the hearts of the sick that Mary makes Her Son’s wonderworking\nvoice heard\, a voice which prodigiously resolves the rigidity of sourness of heart\nand rebellion and gives the soul back eyes with which to see the world\, others\,\none’s own destiny in a new light. \nAt Lourdes the sick discover the inestimable value of their suffering – the\nmeaning that pain may have in their lives\, when interiorly renewed by that\nflame which consumes and transforms in the life of the Church. \nUpright by the Cross of Her Son on Calvary\, the Most Holy Virgin\ncourageously shared in His Passion and knows how to convince ever fresh souls\nto unite their sufferings with Christ’s sacrifice\, in a joint “offertory\,” which\nsurpasses time and space and embraces the whole of mankind and saves it. \n5\nfrom Prayers and Devotions from John Paul II; the K. S. Gininger Company\, Inc.\, 1984.
