Quote by Leandro Gomes de Barros

“Se eu conversasse com Deus Iria lhe perguntar: Por que é que sofremos tanto Quando viemos pra cá? Que dívida é essa Que a gente tem que morrer pra pagar? Perguntaria também Como é que ele é feito Que não dorme, que não come E assim vive satisfeito. Por que foi que ele não fez A gente do mesmo jeito? Por que existem uns felizes E outros que sofrem tanto? Nascemos do mesmo jeito, Moramos no mesmo canto. Quem foi temperar o choro E acabou salgando o pranto?”

“Hamlet doesn't fully see that his metaphysical miseries constitute a subliminal symptom of grief; and this was exactly my case. I thought I was sick, I thought I was dying (maybe that is what bereavement actually asks of you). Literature gives us these warnings about the main events, but we don't recognize the warnings until the events have come and gone. Isabel, my senior in the loss of a sibling, told me that you just have to take it, like weather—yes, like sleet in your face.”

“All of our natural intuitions tell us that Jesus is with us, on our side, present and helping, when life is going well. This text says the opposite. It is in "our weaknesses" that Jesus sympathizes with us. The word for "sympathize" here is a compound word formed from the prefix meaning "with" joined with the verb to suffer. "Sympathize" here is not cool and detached pity. It is a depth of felt solidarity such as is echoed in our own lives most closely only as parents to children. Indeed, it is deeper even than that. In our pain, Jesus is pained; in our suffering, he feels the suffering as his own even though it isn't--not that his invincible divinity is threatened, but in the sense that his heart is feelingly drawn into our distress. His human nature engages our troubles comprehensively. His is a love that cannot be held back when he sees his people in pain.”
