When Christ suffered for us on the Cross, did The Father and The Holy Ghost also suffer? They are, after all, One God. Or am I not fully understanding the nature of the Holy Trinity?

The priest was mumbling a little during his homily today :o!

No, the Father and the Spirit did not become man. Jesus suffered in His humanity.
What “One desires” they all desire, what “one experiences” they all experience.

The problem is that the divine nature did not suffer because it is impassible. The hypostasis/person of the Son can be said to have suffered though because the human nature became ‘enhypostasized’, to use a Greek term, just as the divine nature. The Son became man and so He suffered in His humanity. The Father and the Spirit did not experience this because they did not become incarnate as the Son.
