17
Q

effects of original sin

A

absence of grace, suffering, death and concupiscence (tendency to sin)

18
Q

suffering and free will

A
  • Often, the sufferings we have, we have brought upon ourselves by our choices
  • By making good choices, we can sometimes avoid suffering
  • By making good choices and sacrificing our immediate pleasures for a greater good, we bear our crosses well
19
Q

more suffering and free will

A
  • Some sufferings we do not choose; they are given to us – e.g. an illness
  • Some people often think that such suffering is pure evil or unnecessary
  • However, from such a suffering, a greater good can come about if we unite ourselves with Jesus and his sufferings
  • In suffering with Christ, we share in his great love and we enter deeply into the mystery of redemption
  • Jesus himself suffered on the Cross to death
  • He accepted God’s will
  • Accepting God’s will in suffering is of greater value than our own self-imposed sufferings
  • However, in choosing our own, we are made ready and able to accept God’s will because we are used to denying ourselves
