“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” 1 Peter 1:6,7 . “We must remember that we should do God’s will, not our own… we are simply living in this world as guests and strangers. What person placed in a foreign country would not hurry to return to his own native country? It is an empty show of faith when there is no danger. Sufferings, struggles and adversity are what test the truth about our faith, and the tree that is deeply rooted is not swayed by the onset of storms and strong winds.” – St. Cyprian
