Jesus always interpreted hardship in light of the end of the story, and at the end of the story we will be without shame.

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.

God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.

Ten, kto stratÃ

You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give

The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it you find that forever after you are freer than you ever were before. If you can live through that you can live through anything. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.

We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes—understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.

This life and this job and this position that I'm put in, it forces you to grow up quick. I definitely got dropped in the deep end.

Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age, my enemy!

Gentle Jesu, Mary's son, be thine the wounds that heal our wounding. Press thy bloody scars to ours that thy dear blood may flow in us and cleanse our sin. Be thou in us and we in thee that Godric, Gillian, Ailrod, Mouse and thou may be a woundless one at last. And even Reginald if thy great mercy reach so far. In God's name Godric prays. Amen.
