There is a call to suffering with Christ and, through this, to cooperate in His salvific work.
In uniting ourselves with the Lord, we become members of his Mystical Body.
Through his members Christ extends His own life and it is He who suffers in them.
When we are in union with the Lord, our suffering becomes His suffering.
It becomes an integral part of the great work of salvation and is therefore fruitful.
(Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Letters 60).
