O you young and old, be happy to suffer during your lifetime, rather than be punished eternally

This article is based on a medieval sermon by R. Caracciolo, translated into Old Croatian and printed in Senj in 1508. It deals with the meaning of suffering and reflects medieval views on disease, health, body and soul. It is iconic in the representation of gout and of the stress on the fate of the soul in eternity, which can be cleansed through bodiliy suffering.
