Day 13 with St. Faustina's Diary

Today's readings are from Notebook 1, numbers 36-38. Why must we suffer? In our world, most of us try to avoid suffering at all costs--only comfort and pleasure are sought. We are even seeing people take their lives if they experience any amount of suffering. This is understandable when suffering seems to have no point. For Catholics, we can come to see that suffering and pain bring about growth and burns sin off of our souls.
