“God does not frown on your complaint.  Did not His Mother in the Temple ask: ‘Son why hast Thou done so to us?  ‘And did not Christ on the Cross complain: ‘My God why hast Thou abandoned Me?’  If the Son asked the Father, and the Mother, the Son – why should not you?  But let your wails be to God, and not to man.  And at end of your sweet complaining prayer you will say: ‘Father into Thy Hands I commend my spirit.’  They who complain to others never see God’s purposes.  They who complain to God find that their passion, like Christ’s turns into compassion.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Lenten & Easter Inspirations)
