Rev. Jim Willig

A great tool for learning the power and intimacy of suffering. I cried alongside this priest and his painful yet poignant journey towards a deeper relationship and understanding of Jesus and his/our cross. It changed my view of suffering and its purpose in our lives.

Suffering is no guarantee of holiness. Many times it can be an invaluable teacher; other times it can crush a person into self-pity. But the lessons to be learned from suffering are many and, if we learn these lessons well, they can transform our lives, according to a young priest suffering from renal cancer. .
