Quote from Saint AugustineMeditation of the Day, an
(02:19):
excerpt from A Year with Mary bySt.
Alphonsus Liguori, page 222.
In this valley of tears, everyman is born to weep, and all
must suffer, by enduring theevils that take place every day.
But how much greater would bethe misery of life if we also
knew the future evils that awaitus?

Unfortunate indeed would be thesituation of someone who knows
the future, says the pagan Romanphilosopher 1 Sinica.
(03:17):
sufferings of the passion anddeath of her beloved Jesus.
For in the temple, Saint Simeon,having received the divine child
in his arms, foretold to herthat her son would be a sign for
all the persecutions andoppositions of men.
Jesus, our King and His MostHoly Mother, didn't refuse, for
love of us, to suffer such cruelpains throughout their lives.
(03:41):
So, it's reasonable that we, atleast, should not complain if we
have to suffer something.

a dead man to life.
