Manual for Suffering

By Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, STD · Published by TAN Books

Overview

If God is all-good and all-powerful, why does suffering exist? Why do the innocent suffer? And how can suffering possibly have meaning?

These are not abstract questions. The answers shape how we live, how we endure, and ultimately, how we approach God.

Manual for Suffering presents the Catholic response in its full depth, not sentimental, not superficial, but rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and the lived witness of the saints. It confronts the reality of a fallen world and shows how suffering, united to Christ, becomes a path not of despair, but of redemption.

The first part lays the theological and biblical foundation for understanding suffering. The second provides concrete spiritual aids, guiding the reader through suffering with clarity, purpose, and trust in Divine Providence.

This is not merely a book to read. It is a companion for the via crucis, helping you carry the cross with Christ and discover its meaning in light of eternity.

  • Understand suffering through a clear and faithful Catholic framework
  • Find meaning and purpose in trials by uniting them to Christ
  • Draw from Scripture, magisterial teaching, and the wisdom of the saints
  • Use traditional prayers and devotions to endure suffering with hope
  • Gain a practical spiritual guide for navigating hardship and loss

From the Book

    Recent suffering

    Although I have not finished reading this, it has helped me understand and cope with my suffering and that of others. I am more understanding of others and try to help, even by just listening or praying for them.
