Day 11 of the Pilgrimage: Shepherd's Rise - Stay@Home Pilgrimage

Series - How to Suffer Well: Walking With The Saints & Extraordinary Christians Sub-series: Stay-At-Home Lenten Pilgrimage Many people assume holiness must look like dramatic conversions, public miracles, or emotional strength. But most believers never encounter holiness that way. What they encounter instead is long, unchosen suffering—illness, grief, waiting, doubt, loneliness—and the quiet effort to remain faithful within it. How to Suffer Well: Walking With The Saints & Extraordinary Christians is a reflective, compassionate series that explores sanctity as it is most often lived: not in spectacle, but in perseverance. It focuses on saints and faithful Christians who endured unresolved suffering and remained rooted in love, prayer, and trust when answers did not come and God felt distant, yet present. This series does not glorify pain or offer easy explanations. Instead, it takes ordinary, unphotogenic suffering seriously—chronic illness, mental health struggles, scrupulosity, infertility, aging, regret, and spiritual dryness—and asks how holiness is formed there. Grounded in Scripture and Catholic tradition, while intentionally hospitable to Protestants, How to Suffer Well: Walking With The Saints & Extraordinary Christians serves as a bridge between the saints and real life. The saints are presented not as distant heroes, but as companions who teach us how to endure honestly, love faithfully, and persevere without bitterness. This series is for those who feel spiritually behind, weary of triumphal language, or unseen in their suffering. It invites reflection, prayer, and quiet hope—offering not answers, but companionship, and the reassurance that faithful endurance is itself a holy offering. +++ Here is the promised link to the song and there are MANY people singing it on YouTube:    • Gaither - Great Is Thy Faithfulness [Live]...   +++ SufferingWell: Through the Cross, Not Around It ~ We believe your suffering and ours is very valuable. Jesus told us to take up our crosses and follow Him. He made it clear that our lives as Christians would be full of suffering. In other words, your suffering isn't a strange anomaly: It's actually part of your walk as a Christ-follower. Hence, our tagline: Through the Cross, Not Around It. Understanding how to give your suffering to God can make it so much more worthwhile ... and sometimes, you will actually find joy in it! The more we trust God and submit ourselves to Him, the better we can become at offering up our suffering to Him to use. It's easier to submit to God if we fully trust Him! And even more important, the more we trust God, the more we will trust Him in the suffering and see how it works for our good and the good of others and how it glorifies Him. Our desire is to help Christians learn to trust God in their suffering, to unite their suffering with Christ, and to offer it to God to use for the souls in purgatory, for those who suffer or need to know Christ, and for our world. We offer courses to support this and to encourage others in this practice. To learn more about SufferingWell, or to inquire about our classes, please contact us at SufferingWell@protonmail.com.
