[quote name='Raphael' post='407662' date='Nov 4 2004, 01:27 PM'] It's a gift from God...getting joy out of pain...not because they like the pain, but because they recognize what the pain is accomplishing.

jezic Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 the idea of a hair shirt i have heard of. That seems like it would be a mortification that might profit some people. The wire/chain thing makes me cringe a little bit, but God bless the people who go through with it. To our "modern" ears it sounds almost "in-humane".

RC_ Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The amount of pain/discomfort we expirence in day to day life is nothing compared to the pain of separation from God that countless people expirence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I clearly made that distinction in saying that they didn't get joy in the pain itself, but in seeing what it was able to accomplish, namely, their detachment and the grace of God acting through them because of that detachment.
