Great indeed are the advantages of tribulations. The Lord sends them to us, not because He wishes our misfortune, but because He desires our welfare. When they come upon us, we must embrace them with thanksgiving, and must not only resign ourselves to the divine will, but must also rejoice that God treats us as He treated His Son Jesus Christ, whose life on this earth was always full of tribulations.- St. Alphonsus Liguori

This is a beautiful quote and one that I embrace. It is good to remember that until we can accept adversity with the same Spirit of Joy as good fortune then we shall always remain, but little children.
ReplyDeleteGod knows his business and that is to care for our souls...In all things, God is Good.

A wonderful reflection!
ReplyDeleteIt truly is HARD to embrace tribulation. Thank you! Cathy
Marie, that is what we are trying to do. It is hard but it is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSure is Cathy, I agree.
