More than that, we
rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and
endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not
disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the
Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. (Rom 5: 3-5”
Our trust in God, our Father,
is put to the test in times of hardship and suffering. It is also in such times
that God’s love for us is proven again and again. Such trials are necessary for
our interior spiritual growth. (CCC368, 2734, 2847)”
~From the Didache Bible p. 1516, Book of Romans 5: 3-5
