Salvifici Doloris | On the Christian Meaning of Suffering

Reconciling the weight of the world’s beauty with the weight of human suffering is a problem almost as old as the world itself. Every age and every culture has attempted to understand the meaning of human suffering. In this study guide, you will meditate upon the words of Pope St. John Paul II. 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.’
