“Suffering and death were offered to man by God as a new tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They become either a source of glorious life or a cause of eternal perdition, according to man’s reaction to them. They have eternal value when they are accepted with faith and trust in God’s will. Contrariwise, they are ruinous when they are lived in a fatalistic way, as if fallen conditions were ‘natural’.”
