Suffering

Reading this, I was reminded of priest who said in a recent homily that everyone has gifts and talents but the number one talent is... he who offers joy. It is a rare one these days. I'm also reminded how Mother Angelica wanted Raymond Arroyo to handle her suffering very carefully, I think to the point where he de-emphasize it if it got in the way.

Fred of Deep Furrows has touched on the necessity of getting beyond stocism in the past, specifically here and here.
