Pope's advice on confronting suffering and pain

"Life is full of difficulties. But there are two ways to face these difficulties: to look at them as something that blocks you, that destroys you, that detains you, or to look at them as an opportunity. And you can make a choice.”

POPE FRANCIS
“Our God, like a father with his child, teaches us to walk, teaches us to walk along the path of life and salvation. It’s God’s hands who caress us in our moments of pain,comforting us. God caresses us! He loves us.”

POPE FRANCIS
"Let us not be imprisoned by the temptation to be alone and disheartened, to feel sorry for ourselves for what happens to us. Do not yield to useless logic and inconclusive fear, resigned to repeat that everything is wrong and nothing is like it used to be. This is the atmosphere of the tomb; the Lord wants to instead open the way of life, the encounter with Him, trust in Him, the resurrection of the heart.”

POPE FRANCIS
“In moments of sadness, whether a little or lot, in the dark moments: prayer, patience and hope. Do not forget this."

POPE FRANCIS
"Everywhere, there are abandoned children, either at birth or as life progressed they were abandoned and they don’t feel love from their families. FLASH How do you come out of this very negative experience? There is one remedy, one remedy alone, to come out of these experiences. To do that which you did not receive. If you didn’t receive understanding, then be understanding with others. If you felt pain of loneliness come close to those who are alone, flesh is cured by flesh and God became flesh in order to cure us, let’s do the same ourselves.”
