It isn’t easy; it isn’t rainbows and sunshine all the time. But I try to dance in the rain, I squint through bleary eyes to see the beauty lost in the ugly.

The Sense of Sight (1895) by Annie Louisa Swynnerton (British, 1844 – 1933), oil on canvas, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool
Our Lady of Lourdes appeared with a golden yellow rose on each bare foot, symbolizing glory and the triumphant joy of the spirit over earthly suffering.
While Saint Bernadette, who Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to, was not relieved of her earthly suffering, she kept her faith! Not a single one of us is promised a life free of suffering. But to persevere and see the purpose is a large part of what leads us to peace and eternal life with Christ.

What a tiresome way to learn again that all earthly journeys end in earthly things.
André Alexis, The Hidden Keys
