If Jesus Won… Why Am I Still Suffering?

February 28, 2026 · 15 min

Show notes

If Christ has already won the victory, why does suffering remain?

In this reflection we turn to St John of the Cross and the mystery of the Crucified Christ to understand why victory does not always mean removal of pain. The Cross was not a display of strength but of weakness transformed by love. And that changes everything for how we endure our trials today.
