“Suffering holds within it a hidden, transformative treasure, an unrecognized gem. Jesus demonstrates how to suffer in how He walks from Gethsemane to Golgotha. Then, in the Word of the Cross, He raises Suffering to a Redemptive superpower. Only if we give assent to uniting our imperfect suffering to Jesus’ perfect offering can we open to the superpower Redemptive Suffering contains and alter the eternal destiny of those towards whom we unleash love, by offering our suffering for them. Dr. Sue Ellen Nolan, MTS, Ed.D”

“The schizoid repression of feeling, and retreat from emotional relationships, may, however, go much further and produce a serious breakdown of constructive effort. Then the unhappy sufferer from incapacitating conflicts will succumb to real futility: nothing seems worth doing, interest dies, the world seems unreal, the ego feels depersonalized. Suicide may be attempted in a cold, calculated way to the accompaniment of such thoughts as 'I am useless, bad for everybody, I'll be best out of the way.' One patient who had never reached that point, said: 'I feel I love people in an impersonal way; it seems a false position, hypocritical. Perhaps I don't do any loving. I'm terrified when I see young people go off and being successful and I'm at a dead bottom, absolute dereliction, excommunicate.”
