In this life we will encounter trials, difficulties and suffering! It is something we cannot avoid and should expect! When we gaze upon the Cross we realize we are in GREAT company as Jesus shows us the WAY! The more that we give, accept and endure the MORE we will be able to Love! When we embrace these difficulties in Love -we are able to accept the little martyrdoms of each day, the little pinpricks which come our way! If we are to enter into the reign of God, the trials and hardships of daily living will help us to die to self and surrender more completely to God's Plan fur us! We will then see each suffering or trial as "conditioning"-a blessing! May we be overjoyed to serve our Lord Today-for there is nothing more worthy of our time, more nourishing for our soul or more satisfying to our spirit! Embrace, Endure and Give Thanks! Love and prayers! ✝️
