My dear Christians, are we not astonished at what the saints have suffered, at the patience which they exhibited in all this suffering,  at the longing which they showed for crosses and sufferings?  And we--we complain when we have to suffer a little!  We bear with impatience the slightest adversity sent to us from God. Let us remember that "through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God," and let us bear the little suffering which God sends us with patience and submission, so that we may by this, like the saints, obtain the everlasting joys of heaven."    - St. John Vianney
