Sisterhood of Mary

You cannot understand how God, who calls Himself a Father, can give you such a heavy cross to bear? Have you perhaps forgotten that we are all sinners? Sinners need a cross and suffering in their lives in order to be disciplined, purified and transformed. Otherwise they would never reach the goal of God’s glory. Without holiness no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:10,14). But reaching this goal is worth every difficult pathway!
