Real-life examples, like Pere Jacques and Mr. Godlewski, demonstrate how suffering, when embraced in union with Christ, embodies the triumph of resurrection, shining light in darkness and leaving legacies of love and hope that endure beyond the grave. Pere Jacques' companion in the Nazi concentration camp, Monsieur Godlewski, testified to finding profound meaning amidst the horrors, viewing the experience as essential for his life's journey. Their ordeal echoed the mysteries of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection, illustrating the transformative power of suffering united with Christ.
