“Jesus was not only put to death, but he was also executed in one of the most violent and painful ways possible: crucifixion. He suffered in silence as huge nails were pounded into his hands and feet.”

“That is why you must never underestimate the degree of suffering of any of your brothers or sisters.  If you look only at their pain, you may wonder what they have to complain about.  “I’ve had much worse,” you may say.  But you cannot see their suffering.  You don’t know how sensitive they are, how quickly their pain can become insufferable agony.  Instead of judging, do what you can to relieve both their pain and their suffering.”
