“If God causes you to suffer much it is a sign that He has great designs for you and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.” IfsGivingInspirationUsedSufferingFaithOpportunityWishCausesChristFireSacrificeDesignHolyCrossesCharitySaintWoodsChristian InspirationalBoundlessKindlesGreat DesignGreat Sacrifice Author:Ignatius of Loyola
“Progress has brought us both unbounded opportunities and unbridled difficulties. Thus, the measure of our civilization will not be that we have done much, but what we have done with that much.
