Suffering - see in them a source of riches
Suffering is very unpleasant, but why aggravate it by adding anger, rebellion and discouragement and eventually losing faith in what is essential: divine wisdom and love? Since we must suffer, since we cannot escape problems and ordeals, is it not more intelligent to use them to enrich ourselves rather than to impoverish ourselves? Grief is a reality, and a terrible reality! If you question people who have been persecuted, they will tell you that at the time, of course, their only wish was to be snatched from the abyss into which they seemed to have been thrown. But years later they recognise that these experiences have enriched and strengthened them, and they do not regret having had to go through them.
