ABANDONMENT [AND TRIBULATION]
Tribulation is a gift from God - one that he especially gives His special friends.
-St. Thomas More
Comfort in tribulation can be secured only on the sure ground of faith holding as true the words of Scripture and the teaching of the Catholic Church.
-St. Thomas More
If this is the way You treat Your friends, no wonder You have so few!
-St. Teresa of Avila
Let us throw ourselves into the ocean of His goodness, where every failing will be canceled and anxiety turned into love.
-St. Paul of the Cross
ABORTION
A woman who deliberately destroys a fetus is answerable for murder. And any fine distinction between its being completely formed or unformed is not admissible among us.
-St. Basil the Great
AFFLICTION [AND TRIALS]
There is no such thing as bad weather. All weather is good because it is God's.
-Saint Teresa of Avila
For Jesus Christ I am prepared to suffer still more.

-St. Rose of Lima
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine
The more we are afflicted in this world, the greater is our assurance in the next; the more sorrow in the present, the greater will be our joy in the future.
-St. Isadore of Seville
God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.
-Saint Augustine
We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.
-St. Teresa of Avila
Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them.
-Saint Basil
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.
-Saint Basil
Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.
-St. John of the Cross
