No, I haven’t experienced that before. Neither have I ever known someone that did.

The sign of the cross can help people and they know that he loves them. Also god basically reminds them that he loves them. And most likely will be okay.

I’m my words I think suffering is being hurt and in pain. Also maybe having a disease of some sort or having cancer. You can suffer from those.

That god love you. And you are loved and save because god is protecting you.

God let’s suffering happen because people will get good things out of it. Also you will go through times in life that are hard and you can’t do anything about it. But he also needs people to have challenges so they can have good things come out of that. And sometimes the person can become more confident and stronger in them selves!
