I saw this today and thought of ALL OF US. Hope you find some peace in this, as I did.

"When you are experiencing some physical pain or a sorrowful heart, try to endure it before God, recalling as much as you can that He is watching you at this time of affliction…Don’t force yourself to pray, for a simple adherence to God’s will, expressed from time to time, is enough. Moreover, suffering borne in the will quietly and patiently is a continual, very powerful prayer before God, regardless of the complaints and anxieties that come from the inferior part of the soul."
~St. Jane de Chantal

I like this.

The idea that suffering is a prayer in and of itself is an idea that bears pondering.

I love that. Something to think about in a new way.
