miles to go before I sleep

O! Lord, Have Mercy on Me
We should ask ourselves why Jesus suffered. The answer is: for our sake. Because of the first sin of Adam we were cut off from the life of grace, excluded from heaven and condemned to die. Jesus took it upon himself to make satisfaction for us and so to pour out the grace of God upon us. It was part of the mysterious plan of God, hidden from all eternity, that this should be accomplished by the suffering and death of the Christ, the "man of sorrows" (Is 53:3).
