More wisdom from Sally Read

“The shape of sadness is universal: Christ represents it in his affliction and shouldering of the world’s sin and pain… Each of your pains, however seemingly inconsequential to others, is part of a fractal pattern with Christ’s pain; you suffer in him, he suffers in you and with you. In prayer, your pains are raised from your shoulders. They rise to God and say: The world needs to be closer to you.”
