Kocoł, Mariusz (Częstochowskie Wydawnictwo Archidiecezjalne "Regina Poloniae", 2023)
Human suffering gained a new value with the proclamation of the Gospel truth. The traditional Catholic approach to this issue sees this difficult experience as a source of grace and a resource to union with Christ. Such a perception does not contradict the possibility and the need to pray for its cessation, which, however, does not always take place. Suffering ultimately remains an unfathomable mystery. Pentecostals, however, are not unanimous in assessing the value of human suffering as a means of bringing a positive outcome to the believer. Especially visible in the doctrine of the Faith Movement is the effort to eliminate the suffering of illness and failure from the lives of Christians. The disagreement with linking illness with the cross of Christian life is also visible in charismatic catholic literature.
