More Wisdom from Dr. Mark Giszczak

 
 
 

But suffering and the grief that accompanies it can also bring me to fall apart, to become locked inside myself. What should I do to move away from the destructive path and toward the hopeful one? I think the Christian answer to the loneliness of suffering lies in love: love of self, love of neighbor, and love of God.

—Mark Giszczak

from his book, Suffering: What Every Catholic Should Know
