A cardiologist once gave a good response to someone who was grumbling about her prescribed treatment. “Do I have to take these pills forever?”, the patient asked. “No,” the doctor said, “Just until you die.” God never said that our sanctification would be a quick and easy process. For those who get frustrated with the process, you must remember that Jesus suffered in this world, and called us to suffer along with Him. We are not called to spend all our efforts trying to avoid life's inconveniences (though this is how some people live--even some Catholics). We are called to have faith, hope, and charity; and we often have to suffer before that can happen.
