What is the purpose of suffering?

Jeff Cavins: “He opens a room for you to participate with Him so that you will know Him…You can stare at the cross all day long…It’s like Christ is there asking you, ‘Do you want a taste of it?’”
 
St. Paul: “I fill up in my body that which is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.”

St. Augustine: “What’s lacking in the sufferings of Christ is what’s lacking in the mystical body of Christ.”

St. John Paul II: “Nothing [is lacking], but that you might know the love of Christ, He made room for you to participate.”

St. Thérèse of Lisieux: “You alone, God, know what I suffered.”
​


Note: As to why he left the Church, Jeff Cavins said, “Catholicism felt more like a bunch of people who were at an eternal funeral. And I didn't want to be a part of that anymore. It wasn't theological. It was more social.” Funny comment. He returned.
