HOW CAN I BEST ENTER ANOTHER'S PAIN?

How Can I Best Enter Another's Pain?

We seldom really understand what our struggling brothers and sisters are going through. The journey of pain is the loneliest journey of all, upstaged only by the journey of death.

Some people suffer pain that is not fixable, people with disabilities, the poor, and those experiencing injustice do not have problems that have ready solutions!

We are called to walk in companionship, faith, prayer, and hope with another in pain -- and when helpful, take practical action.
