A Modern-day Saint Speaks

Responding to Four Good Reasons (see Thursday, January 24, 2008) a reader reacts to the notion that our life in Christ is made more complete when we experience suffering for doing the good just like our Master who was also misunderstood, despised and rejected. Anonymous lets a modern-day saint speak … "The more Jesus intends to raise a soul to perfection, the more he tries it by suffering. So rejoice, I say to you, in seeing yourself so privileged, in spite of your unworthiness. The more you are afflicted, the more you ought to rejoice, because in the fire of tribulation the soul will become pure gold, worthy to be placed and shine in the heavenly palace." - Padre Pio
