When goin through suffering, spiritual directors will often advise to "keep the faith". That is, faith will get you through it.
Good advice, but what is faith?
The Holy Father ecently simplified it.
"Faith is knowing the truth and adhering to it; charity is 'walking' in the
truth," the pope said in his annual message for Lent, which in 2013 begins Feb.
13 for Latin-rite Catholics. "Faith is genuine only if crowned by charity."
When we walk in faith (and love others) suffering seems to become bearable.
