How did Jesus demonstrate solidarity with the poor, the powerless, or those who faced injustice?

theguidanceclinic.com (Notes: In becoming human in the Person of Jesus, God enters into true solidarity with us: in Jesus, God shares in and sanctifies (makes holy) all the realities of our lives, including our suffering.)

When have you needed to know that God was standing by you in a time of suffering?

(Notes: In Jesus, God even experiences the ultimate human suffering: death. In truly living and dying as a real human being, Jesus forever united Heaven and earth and gave us the grace of redemption.) life.com

(Notes: When we experience suffering—big or small—we can take courage and comfort in the knowledge that Jesus himself has gone before us.) picdiggers.com

Do you find it helpful to know that Jesus suffered as we do?

(Notes: We are called to follow the example of Jesus with a readiness to take on suffering for the good of others. This does not mean that we are to seek out suffering intentionally or try to make ourselves miserable. It does mean that we must be willing, at least sometimes, to put aside our own needs, desires, or comfort in order to be of service to others, especially those most in need.) Image in public domain
