“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.” Proverbs 3:11,12 “A holy man was asked why the most virtuous persons are given the greatest sorrow. “Suffering, for those who accept it with forbearance,” said the holy man, “is like salt which preserves the soul and allows one to reach heaven purified and cleansed.” It is the greatest grace of all to be judged worthy to suffer for Jesus Christ. It is already the perfect crown and a payment not inferior to the reward yet to come.” St. John Chrysostom
