Ramchal - Derech Hashem 2:3:8
"Pain and suffering may sometimes be imposed on a Tzaddik for his entire generation. In atoning for them through his suffering, this Tzaddik saves them in this world and greatly benefits them in the next.
An even higher category of suffering is that which comes to a Tzaddik to provide the help necessary to bring about the chain of events leading to mankind's ultimate perfection. Man has to undergo at least some suffering before he and the world can attain perfection. He must be punished for his wickedness until the attribute of justice is satisfied. However, God arranged matters in such a way that select perfect individuals can rectify things for others. The only reason they suffer is because of others.
The merit and power of these Tzaddikim are increased because of such suffering, and this gives them an even greater ability to rectify the damage of others. They can therefore not only rectify their own generation but can also correct all the spiritual damage from the beginning...."
שיחות הרן קנז
שמעתי בשמו שאמר. שכבר אמר כמה תורות על חולאת שלו . כי אחר שבא מלמברג הזכיר כמעט בכל תורה מענין הראה שזה היה החולאת שלו כי היה לו חלי ההוסט (שעול, שחפת) רחמנא לצלן שהוא חלי הראה
ואמר שכפי רבוי התורות שאמר על זה כבר היה ראו להתרפא אך החסרון הוא מחמת חסרון אמונה של השומעים שאין אמונתם חזקה כל כך
ליקוטי מוהרן תנינא ח:ו
וְדַע, שֶׁלִּפְעָמִים הוּא בְּחִינַת נְשֻׂא עָוֹן עַל יְדֵי הַקִּבּוּץ כַּנַּ"ל וְלִפְעָמִים הוּא בְּחִינַת, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם (שָׁם נ"ג) : "אָכֵן חֳלָיֵנוּ הוּא נָשָׂא" כִּי כְּשֶׁאֵין בְּנֵי הַקִּבּוּץ זַכָּאִים אֲזַי אֵין זוֹכִים לִבְחִינַת נְשֻׂא עָוֹן וְאָז הַצַּדִּיק מֻכְרָח לְקַבֵּל עַל עַצְמוֹ יִסּוּרִין בִּשְׁבִיל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֵין נִצּוֹלִים מֵחוֹלַאַת רַק הָעוֹלָם אֲבָל לא הַצַּדִּיק, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, כִּי הוּא מְקַבֵּל יִסּוּרִים בִּשְׁבִיל יִשְׂרָאֵל
"Know that while sometimes forgiveness of sins comes about through the collective merit of the community, there are times when the members of the community are not sufficiently worthy to have their sins forgiven in their own merit. The Tzaddik is then obliged to undertake to suffer for the sake of the Jewish People. `Surely he bore our diseases and carried our pains' (Isaiah 53:4). The community in general is saved from illness but not the Tzaddik, because he undertakes to suffer on behalf of the Jewish People"
