We must be firmly convinced that we have nothing of our own, except our vices and sins. And so we should rejoice when we "faill into various trials" (James 1:2), and when we suffer anguish of soul or body, or affliction of any kind in this world, for the sake of life eternal.
-Rule of 1221, 17
I like these ponderables - gives me something to ponder.
