Teach me, my God, to suffer in peace the afflictions which You send me, that my soul may emerge from the crucible like gold, both brighter and purer, to find You within me. Trials like these, which at present seem unbearable, will eventually become light, and I shall be anxious to suffer again.
Saint Teresa of Jesus
