Putting Our Sufferings Into Perspective





Look often with your inward eyes on Christ Jesus, crucified, naked, blasphemed, slandered, forsaken and overwhelmed by every kind of weariness, sorrow and labor. Remember that your sufferings are not comparable to His either in quality or quantity and that you can never suffer for His sake anything equal to what he suffered for you.

(From Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Frances de Sales)

Don't Stay As Your Are!

…The Lord accepts us just as we are…After the Lord accepts us as we are, He refuses to accept our staying as we are.   He calls us to repentance and growth in holiness…The Lord invites everyone to His wedding banquet. All are to come as they are, but not stay as they are.   We must put on the wedding garment of righteousness and holiness, or we will be bound and thrown ‘out into the night to wail and grind our teeth’ (Matthew 22:13). Come as you are to no longer be as you are!   One Bread, One Body – January 15, 2000
