“How great is his mercy, how divine his goodness, for he has torn everything from us in order that we may be more completely his. So the sufferers are the happy ones through the goodness of God. In suffering I give thanks. May these days of Christmas festival bring you, in your suffering, I do not say consolation, but the blessings God intends for you.” ―Meditations of a Hermit by Charles de Foucauld
why do i pray
for consolation
when it is suffering
that holds the
greater blessing
