Living in the 'don't bother me' eras

He is our only hope, isn't He? And if He's not for us, who is He for? He came to heal those who suffer, after all, and suffering is the result of sin. My suffering is the result of my sinfulness and that of those around me, simple as that.

I suppose some people are fortunate enough not to need as much healing as others, but it seems to me indicative of our culture's fear of suffering that even we Catholics, who traditionally have had a deeper acceptance of the place of suffering in life, are offended by those who mourn.
