It is our Lord’s will that you should taste of the sorrows of this vale of tears, and not of the milder but of the most bitter kind… In this manner He treats all those who are dear to Him, that they may testify their love for Him, while He bestows great graces on them by this means… Whatever our suffering may be, we must not let it overwhelm us.
Saint John of Ávila
