“The very first, unique answer there [cross of suffering] is to bear the sufferings. Bear the sufferings. Don’t let the cross fall down. How do you let the cross of suffering to fall down? Don’t mind it. Don’t attend to it and consider that there is no suffering. These are ways of letting the cross falls down and not the place of suffering. Is that the way how we should do it? No.
“Pray and ask God to remove this suffering and solve the hardship that prevents of what should be our happiness.
“Therefore, Jesus is showing and showed to mankind how He loved them.
“Jesus showed that mankind should bear sufferings.
“Jesus showed how to bear sufferings.
“Jesus showed how important every soul of man is. Because if the soul is not important, He would not have accepted to be crucified.
“Why is it that through His acceptance of being crucified, He was able to explain how important the soul of a person is?
“Because of man’s sins, because of man’s sins that he could not avoid, Jesus bore the suffering.
He showed to mankind that He is God who loved mankind by being a human being like us. He showed that this is what you should do. That is what that means. This is what you should do. Bear the suffering.
“That is why He showed how He bore being scourged by the whip.
“He showed how He allowed being crucified.
“He showed that He died.
“But He showed also that He came back to life after He died.
“That is why Jesus allowed to be crucified to show how much man has to bear sufferings. That is why Jesus Christ received those nails until He died. Likewise, man should bear sufferings until his death. Jesus also showed that He resurrected. Likewise, that is what will happen to man if man bears the suffering, and bears the hardship until he dies, this man will live again to be with God.”
