My dear Child, I know you dread suffering and do everything in your power to avoid it, but you need a little pinch of suffering in your life not to punish you but always to remind you of your frailty, keep you on track, and help you avoid evil. This little suffering will serve as an agent of humility so that pride will not overtake you. The human nature stained by sin is prone to pride and sin and one of the ways of taming these tendencies is placing a reminder in the flesh that will serve as a deterrent to pride and sin. He who is suffering in the flesh doesn’t have enough time to nurse the sins of the flesh. It will also help you focus on what is important. Also, remember that the absence of suffering brings comfort and comfort, forgetfulness and laziness, and Laziness takes you away from your target. I want to assure you, that, the suffering can never be heavier than you because my grace shall always be at the measure of the suffering. The suffering that comes to correct you will always come with enough grace to bear it. Accepting to bear with joy the little suffering that comes your way is participating in your little way to the work of salvation. Be not dismayed when you suffer because of me but bear it patiently for the end of it all shall be joy.
Lean on me and I who have passed through it shall see you through.
Be assured of my love and support always.
