Pope Benedict's quote about suffering

when i read this i thought ..this is very true.. i never saw it this way.
i think God had a choice regarding all the suffering in the world..to either take it all away in a moment..
or, to share in our suffering out of love for us and then take it away.

“In order to heal us, He does not remain outside the suffering that is experienced, He eases it by coming to dwell with the one stricken by illness, to bear it and to live with him. Christ’s presence comes to break the isolation which pain induces. Man no longer bears his burden alone. As a suffering member of Christ, he is conformed to Christ in his self-offering to the father.”
Pope Benedict
