Suffering can result from isolation (when we close ourselves off from God and other people). There lies a danger of an "inner closing" which covers the deepest core of the person, what the bible calls the "heart".
Jesus came to open and liberate us, to enable us to fully live our relationship with God and with others. This is why the word, "Ephphatha - Be opened", sums up Christ’s entire mission.
