It is not surprising that you are misunderstood. People in Nazareth did not understand Christ either. It must have been hard for the God-Man to be misunderstood. So, rejoice, because this experience will make you like your Beloved. These little sufferings are the hand of God, conforming you into the image of His Son, allowing you to share His loneliness, His suffering, His hidden pain.

The Cross is the Answer by Catherine Doherty - Madonna House Apostolate

When I’m discouraged, I remember that I have recourse to the only thing I know will keep me from absolute discouragement, and that is Calvary. Whenever I feel that the things of the world are too much for me, I take refuge at the foot of the cross.

Even if the whole world is shrouded in darkness, and the curtains of all my temples are rent, I know that — although I cannot see, nor hear, nor understand — I am safe at the feet of my crucified Saviour.

— Catherine Doherty
