Thought for the Day
We recognise the apostolic value of positively and patiently accepting sickness, suffering, old age, failure, and the trials of life as sharing in the redemptive work of Christ.
Way of Life, Directive 49.3
We often fail to recognise these trials as being positive things which we can offer to Christ for the redemption of the world. What a wonderful way to use what are, after all, inevitable, and make up the warp and woof of most of our lives.
