“What is the extra ingredient in suffering, which when absent prompts a
curse, and when present becomes a joy? You must unite your sufferings
and sorrows with Christ and see your Calvary as coming from the Hand of
God. Our Lord saw the cup of His Passion as given to Him, not by Judas
or Pilate or Caiphas or the people, but by His Father: ‘Shall I not
drink the Cup My Father Himself has appointed for Me?’ Pain without
Christ is suffering; pain with Christ is sacrifice.”
-Archbishop Fulton
Sheen
