My dear children, without suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the redemption—Jesus wanted to help us by sharing our life, our loneliness, our agony and death.
All that He has taken upon Himself, and has carried it in the darkest night. Only by being one with us He has redeemed us.
We are allowed to do the same: All the desolation of Poor people, not only their Material poverty, but their spiritual destitution must be redeemed and we must have our share in it, pray thus when you find it hard—‘I wish to live in this world which is far from God, which has turned so much from the light of Jesus, to help them—to take upon me something of their suffering.’
