There is not a moment in which God does not present Himself under the cover of some pain to be endured, of some consolation to be enjoyed, or of some duty to be performed. All that takes place within us, around us, or through us, contains and conceals His divine action. JeanPierre De Caussade
About This Quote

This quote is quite profound. It is an indication that we experience pain and suffering in this world of ours, and this is unavoidable. Pain and suffering involves all of us in some way or another, whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually— your choice. However, what we can do with this pain and suffering is up to us.

We can allow it to consume us and destroy us, or we can rise above the pain and grace God with our suffering by accepting it as His mission. The second choice is far more difficult but far more rewarding for the individual involved. The second choice involves learning to see that God is behind all that happens to us.
