Making Sense of Suffering
If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why does bone cancer exist in children? This is the ancient question of Job. The Christian answer is not simple, but it is profound: God did not create death or suffering; they entered the world through sin (the misuse of free will).
If you are in the middle of it right now, go to your priest and to a doctor. The sacraments are free, your parish is free, and both come before anything sold here. When you are ready to study the question rather than survive it, Catholic/Christian Pro carries in-depth Bible studies on Job and the psalms of lament, audio devotionals for days when your own words have run out, guided prayers, worship playlists and full offline access. $49 one-time, lifetime access, no subscription.
Get Pro for $49 → One-time payment of $49. Lifetime access, no subscription, no recurring charge. 30-day money-back guarantee.God's solution was not to snap His fingers and remove pain (which would remove our free will and growth). His solution was to enter into it. On the Cross, God suffered. He knows what it feels like to be tortured, abandoned, and killed. He is not a distant observer; He is a participant.
The Christian answer to pain is that God entered it: tortured, abandoned and killed. Holding on to that in the middle of a hospital corridor is a different thing from agreeing with it in a calm hour. Pro gives you audio devotionals drawn from the psalms of lament, guided prayers for the sick and for those who sit with them, in-depth Bible studies on Job and the passion narratives, and offline access for a waiting room with no signal.
Pro is audio and study material. It does not shorten anything you are carrying, and it has no bearing on where you stand with God. $49 once, lifetime access, no subscription and no recurring charge.

Our suffering, when united to the Cross, becomes powerful. It can save souls. It isn't wasted. It becomes a form of prayer.
Paul writes that he completes in his flesh what is lacking in Christ's afflictions (Colossians 1:24). Suffering united to the cross becomes a form of prayer, and that is learned before the crisis rather than during it. Catholic/Christian Pro carries in-depth Bible studies on Job, lament and the passion, audio devotionals, guided prayers, worship playlists, offline access and early access to new studies, for $49 paid once.
