Embrace Discomfort

The quote I reference in the podcast: "Suffering has a cleansing effect on the soul, so that the man who has endured, however much against his wishes, emerges bruised, perhaps, but detached. [True] Resignation makes a man free of the preoccupations that harass the man who is forever complaining about his trouble and looking everywhere for a way out. The man who aims at eliminating pain and sadness from his life is doomed to disillusion. Not so the man who aims at meeting these things head-on, coming to terms with them, and refusing to be governed by them. The resigned soul rests on the text from Tobias: Because you were acceptable to God, it was necessary that these trials should prove you. (Tob 12:6)." —Hubert Van Zeller, O.S.B., p.79Night Prayer: https://nightprayer.goodcatholic.com/?utm_campaign=Night%20Prayer%20Daily%20Emails&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8UVFDU5l91SyYI6ebRnvRiRpxy97X-7P2W9EHxcOqJPg7MPKDkLHfiE37RaRk_dQKqCPgBajzuO19BIMbbyk1ufCHLeA&_hsmi=356943782&utm_content=356943782&utm_source=hs_email Thank you for listening!
