Saint Teresa of Calcutta said : “ I got to know the paradox : if I love till it hurts , the pain disappears and only love remains.”
One is not looking consciously for suffering , in fact does everything possible to avoid it . Christ was not looking for the chalice on the way of the cross , but when His time came He emptied it . He fell three times , but in great pain not with a Hollywood like smile did He carry His cross . His honour required Him, to accept suffering , tired to move on with human dignity . Even in the He was one of us and showed us an example. Jesus did not redeem the world by His miracles and great preachings , but by His suffering , His death on the cross that He accepted out of love for us.
