Friend Or Enemy?

Posted on Sunday, August 05, 2012 by Women of Grace Staff

“Our friends, then, are all those who unjustly afflict us with trials and ordeals, shame and injustice, sorrows and torments, martyrdom and death; we must love them greatly for we all possess eternal life because of them.”

                                                                                St. Francis of Assisi

For Reflection: 

What a counter-cultural way of looking at the sufferings imposed upon us by others! How have those who have burdened me with pain and suffering become conduits leading me to eternal life? Can I, then, refuse, to forgive them?
