Interior suffering

Physical pain can be measured by degrees and machines, but Interior Suffering is experienced only by the soul and is known only to God. These great things were accomplished by interior suffering.

We can be sure that:
    - Dryness makes us patient as we seek to love God for Himself.
    - Mental anguish makes us depend upon His Wisdom.
    - Doubts increase our Faith when we act according to our beliefs rather than our reasoning.
    - Fear makes us trust God's Providence and Hope in His Goodness.
    -  Anxiety leads us to distrust ourselves and release our problems to an all-loving God.
    - Worry makes us realize our helplessness and instills a desire to throw ourselves into the Arms of His Infinite Wisdom.
    - Discouragement over our imperfections makes us strive for holiness with greater determination.
    - Uncertainty as to our future makes us look forward to the Kingdom.
    - Disappointments detach us from the things that pass and make us look to those that are everlasting.
