We also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering
produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces
hop, and hope does not disappoint us… Romans 5:3-5.
Very truly, I tell you, you
will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy.
When a woman is in labor, she
has pain, because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer
remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into
the world.
So you
have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no
one will take your joy from you. John 16:20-22.
I (Jesus) have said this to
you, so that in me you may have peace. “In the world
you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!”
John 16:33.
(Living witness)
Amen.
