“At such times, the heart of man turns instictively towards his Maker. In prosperity, and whenever there is nothing to injure or make him afraid, he remembers Him not, and is ready to defy Him; but place him in the midst of dangers, cut him off from human aid, let the grave open before him, then it is, in the time of his tribulation, that the scoffer and unbelieving man turns to God for help, feeling there is no other hope, or refuge, or safety, save in his protecting arm.”

May He Who has helped me by doing other and more difficult things for me help also in this: in His mercy I put my trust.”

Stagnating in pain dissipates vital energy that could otherwise be channeled toward personal improvement and service to the community. These moments of pain become rites of passage toward a deeper understanding of our place in the universe.”
