Suffering sometimes is so great that the only way is through it, where there is no alternative other than to be in it. It is not the 'why' of suffering, so much as the 'how' of suffering that is illuminated here to deliver a path of hope.

When people see the Cross, they may get caught up in its pain and sorrow rather than see it as the culmination of Christ's Mission, which He freely chose in order to flood the world with Love and Mercy and set the Holy Spirt free to lead and guide us.

Those who endlessly suffer know God's Love and Mercy well, for there is nowhere else to look other than at the tender face of Christ upon the Cross, who lifts and hold you in His gaze; there you find the deepest compassion and healing embracing you.

Pope John Paul II knew suffering well and recognised it in others, as he detailed in his great Apostolic Letter on redemptive suffering, Salvifici Dolores.

This book, which is the outcome of a journey into the mystery of the Cross, over three decades of suffering, is a meditation upon Salvifici Dolores and Divine Love especially for those who suffer without hope of resolution.
