Overview
Christians who are undergoing great pain, whether physical or mental, know to turn to God. In doing so, they typically ask that their suffering be removed, or at least that it be explained. But that’s the wrong approach, explains the renowned psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty. Instead, we should ask Christ to teach us His suffering, where we encounter the depths of His love and find liberation from our afflictions.
In this groundbreaking book of Christian spirituality, Kheriaty takes readers into the heart of the simple prayer Doce me passionem Tuam—“Teach me Your suffering.” Drawing from his own clinical experience, the lives of the saints, the teachings of recent popes, and the tradition of the Church, he shows that by shifting our focus from demanding answers for our pain to entering Christ’s own agony, this prayer draws us into God’s love and offers authentic freedom.
Written for anyone who wishes not only to overcome suffering but also to grow in his or her spiritual life, Teach Me Your Suffering’s meditations on the Eucharist, the Holy Family, and Christ’s Passion will show readers how and where God’s love is fully revealed—and how and where human anguish finds meaning.
