Bodily suffering helps us to break with sin
-
April 12, 2017“As Christ has undergone bodily suffering, you too arm yourselves with the same conviction, that anyone who has undergone bodily suffering has broken with sin.’’ 1 Peter 4:1
The mystery of bodily suffering is revealed by St. Peter: it helps us to break with sin if it is borne in the way Christ bore it. He prepared Himself for his sufferings with prayer, and when they came at the appointed time, He accepted them from God’s hands, without complaint. Let us resolutely prepare for the tiny bit of suffering that the Heavenly Father has assigned for us with fervent prayer, and when it appears, let us accept them as Christ did.
