On The Mystery of Suffering in the Face of Silence
While it is easy to become angry at the silence received by God in the midst of suffering, perhaps something deeper is going on.
C.S. Lewis on Desiring Heaven (Part 2)
“But it is also said “To him that overcometh I will give a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” What can be more a man’s own that this new name which even in eternity remains a secret between God and him?... Why else were individuals created, but that God, loving all infinitely, should love each differently? And this difference, so far from impairing, floods with meaning the love of all blessed creatures for one another, the communion of the saints.”

Pain is not something one can truly understand by looking at it from the outside — only from looking at it from the inside. C.S. Lewis experienced pain from the inside when his wife, Joy, passed away due to cancer.
