For the truth is that all of us have crosses to bear and "everyone falls short of the glory of God." To accept suffering is, in a sense, to overcome it. It is the only way to deal maturely with the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet. <br />To accept suffering and offer it up to Christ, we find peace and acceptance in even the most dreadful circumstances, such as our own death for example. Our Lord has conquered death and we can be confident in his mercy. <br />Very good reflection!Patrick O'Connorhttp://www.masculinejourney.canoreply@blogger.com
