Why must we suffer?

“Life isn’t worth living!” We hear comments like that, here and there… And, when facing severe difficulties, people sometimes conclude: “This time, there’s really no solution. My life is wrecked for good.” But those words are meaningless for those of us who see things with the eyes of faith. 

Of course there’s a solution to life’s problems! But the solution doesn’t lie in the hands of any doctor; the solution isn’t found in drugs and medicine. It isn’t found in technology, the internet or anything else that today’s world offers us.

In reality, there is only one solution. Our Lord Jesus Christ revealed it to us when He said: “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Lk 9:23).

The cross is the solution to your problems in life: depression, anxiety, conflicts, setbacks, health problems, hardships of every kind… All of these CAN be resolved. If you desire this remedy, if you are interested in this solution, then join us for this video series on the role of suffering. 

You are bound to learn a lot as the course unfolds. You’ll become acquainted with topics that no one has ever discussed with you. Most importantly, you’ll learn to regard life, and face life’s problems with true faith. And whoever learns to live firmly anchored in faith will come to experience the indestructible satisfaction of truly Christian living.
