Pardon my ignorance, Father, but a priest once told me to leave all my pain and suffering at the foot of Christ on the cross. How exactly does one do that? I can understand fervent prayers of supplication, but I'm not exactly sure how to "leave" it there.
I think such phrases are meant to describe interior acts and intentions in our prayer. It more or less only means to form the intention in our will and let the Holy Spirit take care of the rest. I hope this helps!
