Love Entails Suffering

Hi Everyone,
My friend Theresa was laid to rest on Monday.  It was a beautiful and sorrowful celebration.  The priest gave an excellent homily on suffering.  He said that when we experience suffering we are filled with a sense of protest and rebellion, continuously asking “Why?”  He reminded us that we were made of love and that in suffering love shows itself.  Love entails suffering.  I have been pondering this phrase- love entails suffering.  For me, there is no doubt that in the cancer storm I have experienced, love prevails.  In return I want to give acts of love to others.  Funny how that happens, I guess it was in my plan.  
Be Well,
