Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of Himself.
- Wis 3:5
Reflection: From Jesus' behavior we learn a double lesson: that human suffering has a precise role to play in God's plan, and that it moves to compassion the Heart of Jesus. For He knows how much suffering can affect human weakness and put it to the test.
Prayer: Almighty God, St. Charles Lwanga and his companions were tried in the crucible of suffering and found worthy. May I be willing to see Your will in my suffering.
