Suffering

I am getting ready to teach a lesson on suffering to my seniors.  This is a tough subject but for some reason I like researching it but I am struggling on how to make the Church's understanding of suffering accessible to high school seniors.
I guess all I can do is my best and leave the rest up to God.

After a fall while playing softball on the hard clay and gravel of the infield I have been suffering.

I know this is nothing compared to what Christ experienced... but even this little scrape hurts!  I can't imagine the pain Christ went through...

Peace
