The meaning of pain

If you want to go to sweet Paradise, you have to eat a lot of bitter things here, so… now that you’ve got your passport of trials in hand, trust in God’s continuous, mystical prayer that softly brings His powers to where they’re needed, when they’re needed.

Based on St Paisios the Athonite
