Monday 23rd Week of Ordinary Time

Rejoice in suffering. Col.1:24



St. Paul rejoiced in his sufferings!
Does he know something we do not?

When was the last time you rejoiced in your sufferings!?

St. Paul believed that when he united his sufferings with the sufferings of Christ they bore fruit and were not meaningless.

Because the sufferings of Christ opened the gates of Paradise.

If we unite our sufferings whatever they may be,
with the sufferings of Jesus as St. Paul did and as Mary did at the foot of the cross it may help to open up someone’s heart to the Lord;
It may open Someone’s heart which is broken to healing.
It may open Someone’s heart which is hurt to love again.

And that is something to rejoice about.
