“Our Lord and Savior lifted up his voice and said with incomparable majesty: ‘Let all men know that grace comes after tribulation. Let them know that without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of grace. Let them know that the gifts of grace increase as the struggles increase.’”

                                                – St. Rose of Lima

For Reflection:                       

How have I seen grace come after a tribulation I have suffered? How does this help me to accept a current trial in my life?
