On a forum I was on some years ago (Ships nostalgia)

Hmm.. I do like the quote of Saint Therese Of Lisieux.

"Don't be so sad about me; I have reached the point of not being able to suffer any more, because all suffering is sweet to me."

Ah, Saint Therese.

While this quote is debatable, I did have this quote as my signature once. Some people liked it, but they always seemed to tell me convoluted opinions about what she meant by suffering being "sweet" to her. This quote I believe was said on her death bed, when she was actually in considerable pain. Her life wasn't really going well for her. I do believe she probably did seek comfort in that fact that she was dying and given her faith probably didn't fear death at all.

Her psychology is pretty interesting to me. I know a lot of films have been done with her, but if given the chanced I'd love to direct a movie about her life. In a slanted non-theistic lens.

Probably one of the better examples of saints who are suspected of liking suffering. Some other examples are creepy and others downright evil. They're all individuals. Therese was known as a very emotional girl and even brat when she was younger but became quite humble and caring when she became an adult.

"Pain is real, suffering is optional."

Rabbi DovBer, author of "Journey of the soul."

Sweet. But is it true?

One can certainly have joy in both suffering and pain, or in either. But I'm not so sure suffering is optional. Certainly some do choose to suffer, and revel in their pain, making it a place to live, habitually esteeming and increasing their pain and suffering, but that isn't really what we are talking about, is it?

What the Bible describes as suffering seems to not necessarily be a choice; the choice seems to be to decide to consider the suffering to be for Christ's sake, and the reveling to be in God's presence and in God's satisfaction with the work of his hands (i.e. his plan).
