His Suffering and Ours
Catholic Fire lists this book as “must read” for Lent and I have to agree. This book is top of my list for Lenten reading this year.
His Suffering and Ours by Kathryn Mulderink
“Our suffering is of many kinds – spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, psychological. It may be inflicted on us from outside ourselves, or be churned up from within us by forces we little understand. This collection arranged around Christ’s Seven Last Words is meant to enliven the hope and peace that lead to joy in suffering and allow us to embrace our cross. It is a reminder of what is always certain: that God IS, that God is LOVE, that LOVE created us, that we ARE because God first loved us, that His love never wearies or wavers. “We all long for such genuine helps and such sweet reminders as this…there is a profound truth in every other line, and the rest is you singing to Him. That is what you represent to others, Kathryn — His unconditional love, along with your own. It comes through so beautifully.” ~Carol O’Reilly, TCRNews.com
Check it out. Oh and as a bonus for Lent, Kathryn tells me that she prays every day for those who read her work!
