Last night I found my copy of St. Therese's "Story of a Soul." The passage I scanned above is where the book was marked from the last time I picked it up. At that moment I needed to read that. I know we can't avoid suffering. I know it is necessary for spiritual growth. At the same time, if I had one iota of the zeal that St. Therese had for suffering I wouldn't be white-knuckling my way through life. Again I am reminded of the Divine Mercy - JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!
