May work and suffering for God always be your glory and in your work and suffering, may God be your consolation on this earth, and your recompense in heaven. Patience is the safeguard and pillar of all the virtues.
This Lenten Season, work very hard to change your life and be reconciled to God. Remember when you offer up all your sufferings, pain, struggles, hardships, and difficulties, your recompense will be great in heaven.
May work and suffering for God always be your glory and in your work and suffering, may God be your consolation on this earth, and your recompense in heaven. Patience is the safeguard and pillar of all the virtues - Blessed Tommaso Maria Fusco.
In simplicity of heart I gladly offer everything, O Lord… To His mercy I entrust my frailty. I saw in front of me a big cross..., I thought that my sacrifice was nothing in comparison to His. I offered myself entirely and I do not withdraw the given word. God's will whatever it may be, this is my joy, my happiness, my peace. I will never be able to thank enough. I cannot say but these words: 'My God, Your Glory'." - Blessed Maria Gabriella Sagheddu
Franciscan friar Blessed Emmanuel Ruiz and his companions were tortured and killed for their faith in 1860. Little else is known about them, but the testimony of their lives speaks volumes.
