Prayer: Ignatius on suffering

True, I am in love with suffering, but I do not know if I deserve the honor.

    1. Ignatius was a marvel. It is very difficult to say these words.

    1. I love his sentiment, but at times it seems as if I have enough suffering in my life. Still, I respect that I am far off from Ignatius' holy desires.

  3. Suffering that can be understood as redemptive, rather than suffering understood as something to be endured for its own sake.

    1. Yes, that is the type of suffering about which Ignatius is speaking.

  4. This is something on which I wish to reflect - it has so much in such a few words. I agree with Claire that it is beautiful. Thank you.
