Salvifici Doloris | On the Christian Meaning of Suffering

Reconciling the world’s beauty with the weight of human suffering is a problem almost as old as the world itself. Every age and culture has attempted to understand the meaning of human suffering. In this study, you will meditate upon the words of Pope St. John Paul II, explore the various ways we experience suffering, and reflect on how suffering can serve as pathways to personal sanctification. Through this study, you will examine your own heart, mind, and actions, seeking to find the meaning in your own walk through ‘the Valley of Tears.’
