Reflection Starter from Henri Nouwen

"Suffering invites us to place our hurts in larger hands. In Christ we see God suffering - for us. And calling us to share in God’s suffering love for a hurting world. The small and even overpowering pains of our lives are intimately connected with the greater pains of Christ. Our daily sorrows are anchored in a greater sorrow and therefore a larger hope." - Rev. Henri Nouwen
