By accepting unavoidable suffering we allow Christ's grace to pour through us to other souls

Christ is always the same, patient and loving, here with His Angels, even within the soul.

Jesus is not upset by our day-dreams or distractions. He waits patiently for our homage and companionship.

The prayerful person who accepts all trials patiently in a spirit of penance, supports and helps many other reckless souls endangered by sin who refuse to do God's Will.

We, too, must wait sometimes, until we see Christ and His Will more clearly.

The more we resemble Christ by patient acceptance of unavoidable suffering, the closer to Him we are, as we hold His wounded hands, and pray with and through Him to our Father in Heaven, to help others.

Jesus waits with infinite patience and kindness, when I have decided to pray, but find that I am distracted by thoughts of the work I've been doing.

If we become one with Christ in suffering (patiently borne) we become one with Him in prayer.

If our sufferings make it hard to pray we can simply lean on the Cross, close to Christ, resting in Him, and patiently endure our difficulties.

Christ showed out patience in His unjust trail. He spoke the truth. He has set us an example of fortitude and love for the Father's will for Him

A person who bears pains and humiliations in patience, out of love for Christ, is like Him Who was wounded for our sake; and in her union with Christ in love, she and He can make one prayer and one Sacrifice to offer to the Father, in homage, in reparation for sin, and in intercession for sinners today.

Our life ahead is like a royal highway. We can step out on it, demanding attention, or we can walk patiently behind Christ.

The impatient soul (Christ showed me) builds a high tower, straining for light, instead of steadily following the low, narrow road.

We should trust in God's love from one day to the next. There are people who are not content to walk the safe, narrow way marked out by Jesus Christ for all who would follow Him to Heaven. Some people insist on making extraordinary efforts to try to see the way ahead, or foretell the future, or to find a different path to Heaven - as if trying to climb a ladder, to reach above the cloud which represents the limitations of our human existence and knowledge.

What an example of humility was given to us by Christ on Calvary, where our God showed only patience, charity and forgiveness.

A person's whole life should be offered, wholeheartedly, to God. Anything less is unworthy of Him, though He is patient.

Those who stay closest to the suffering Christ - then and now - by patiently bearing sufferings, are His greatest friends.

Just as Christ bore suffering as punishment for others, so it is with us, who can help other souls by our patient acceptance of suffering.
