The Meaning of Suffering /Thirsting for Love

It is not by sidestepping or fleeing from suffering that we are healed,but rather by our capacity for accepting it , maturing through it and finding meaning through union with Christ , who suffered with infinite love"..."Dear brothers and sisters, let us look at Christ pierced on the Cross! He is the unsurpassing revelation of God's love.... On the Cross, it is God himself who begs the love of his creature: He is thirsty for the love of every one of us" Pope Benedict
