If nothing else, there's comfort in recognising that no matter how much we fail and sin, death will limit our suffering.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.
We ourselves can die with comfort and even with joy if we know that death is but a passport to blessedness, that this intellect, freed from all material chains, shall rise and shine.
We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind.
In the end we discover the only condition for living is to die.
Many of the lessons we are to learn in mortality can only be received through the things we experience and sometimes suffer. And God expects and trusts us to face temporary mortal adversity with His help so we can learn what we need to learn and ultimately become what we are to become in eternity.
We may not ever fully understand why God allows the suffering that devastates our lives. We may not ever find the right answers to how we'll dig ourselves out.
People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness.
God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.
For any sin, we all suffer. That is why our suffering is endless.
We may not commit a lesser Sin under pretence to avoid a greater, but we may, nay we ought to endure the greatest Pain and Grief rather than commit the least Sin.
