It Doesn't Take an Ounce of Courage

IT DOESN’T take an ounce of courage to end the life of a sick person because you can’t comprehend his suffering. If you really desire natural justice, take his place in the sick bed and take his suffering into your own body. But I can’t, you answer. I understand. Then commit your beloved’s life and death to the hands of God.

AND GO, suffer your loved one’s experience in the dark night of prayer. Take his suffering on your soul. Intercede for him. Entrust him to God in your own spiritual agony. Love him in his helplessness. This is supernatural justice—not of the dead but of the living, not as you will but as God wills. God who answered Mary’s prayer will answer yours.
