“Those who do not complain are never pitied.” Jane Austen
Whining?
Complaining too much?
Mary, our mother
“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”
Agatha Christie
Mary, our mother
Flock together?
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” William Wordsworth
Are you a “rock and an island?”
Love for Christ
“We have to do everything for love, not out of force.” St. Francis de Sales
Suffering out of love for Christ
Don’t worry about tomorrow
“Do not fear what may happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and everyday. Either he will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.” St. Francis de Sales
