"My daughter, do not weep, for I cannot bear your tears. I will grant you everything you ask for, but stop crying."
I read this line spoken by Jesus to Sr. Faustina yesterday evening. I think that is when it started to sink in. Jesus cares about my pain. I've always known this in my head, but during the past couple of years have really had a hard time understanding it in my heart. Whenever things get stressful and I'm upset, I find praying to be a struggle. He has the power to end my suffering, so why doesn't He?
As I'm reading the Diary of St. Faustina, He is working a change in my heart. Suffering is love, the opportunities He gives me to suffer are opportunities for me to demonstrate my love to Him.
Pax Christi!
