In the face of suffering and pain, human beings can either withdraw within themselves “to the point of despair or rebellion,” or welcome it “as an opportunity for growth and discernment of what really matters in life, to the point of an encounter with God.”The Holy Father made his remarks during an Audience with members of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, which has been studying the theme of “sickness and suffering in the Bible.
The many miraculous healings Jesus performs are a sign that “God has visited His people and that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,” said Pope Francis, explaining that Jesus' identification with the weak culminates in His passion and death, “so that the Cross of Christ becomes the pre-eminent sign of God’s solidarity with us and, at the same time, the possibility for us to join Him in the work of salvation.
In Christ, he continued, “even suffering is transformed into love,” with the hope of ultimate resurrection and salvation.Finally, Pope Francis said, suffering teaches us to live human and Christian solidarity according to the “style” of God: closeness, compassion, and tenderness.
The Pope concluded his message with his personal thanks and encouragement to the scholars of the Commission for their work, while reminding them that their work will continue to grow “the more you come to know how to personally embrace the mystery of the Incarnation in your life of faith.”
