I'm mostly doing better, and trying to move on, but something will hit me out of nowhere sometimes, and I'm suddenly brought to tears, or at least near tears. <br /><br />I've never really read much of the Psalms. I know that's strange, since I'm Jewish by birth, but we do sing parts of the Psalms at Mass on Sundays. I will look closer at those too. Any specific Psalms I should start with, you think? There's like 150 of them, aren't there? <br /><br />I don't know if I would say that God is pleased by our sufferings just for sufferings sake. I think it's that God is pleased by how we can become more like Jesus in our sufferings, especially when we embrace our crosses and offer it to God for His greater Glory. I've taken to asking Jesus to do whatever it takes, no matter how much it might hurt me in this life, just to make me a saint, so that I can spend eternity with the Holy Trinity, Mary, and my precious baby in Heaven. I think that's what pleases God, not the suffering itself. Does that make any sense?<br /><br />The St. Faustina quote is from the authorized biography, "The Life of Faustina Kowalska" by Sister Sophia Michalenko, C.M.G.T., page 74.

Maybe you might find it helpful, maybe you just want to move on. But I had to share it.<br />Also, Psalms is a wonderful place to go when in any kind of grief or pain. The Psalmists went through so much!<br />I find the quotes you posted a little boggling. It doesn't make sense to me that God, who loves us and hates evil, would be pleased by our sufferings. Where is that St. Faustina quote from?Pensrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138693939098895809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43601054320874297.post-78571593035437402442014-04-15T20:35:03.678-07:002014-04-15T20:35:03.678-07:00Thanks.
