"Let us remember that suffering is the lot of chosen souls. We must bear it like Christians. God, the giver of every grace and gift leading to salvation, ordains it. It is the requirement, the condition of glory. And so, let us lift up our hearts and trust in God alone. Let us humble ourselves beneath the powerful hand of God. Let us accept in obedience to His will every suffering, to which He, the tender Father, wills to subject us, that He may exalt us in the hour of His visitation. May our one concern be to ‘love God and be pleasing to Him in all things,’ worrying about nothing, for we must know that God will always watch over and care for us, more than we could ever imagine it."  St. Pio of Pietrelcina
