Of suffering and suffering!

I read this morning the moving tale of a four year child, Naomi Rose die of a rare genetic illness. You could read the narration of her last death, as told by her father here. What struck me most was this statement:

It is one thing to talk piously about being at the foot of the Cross, another to carry it, and still another to hang on it.

Rightly so! We 'think' we know it well, but when we really are in that place, all 'knowing' evaporates.
