Peace be with you. Despite great suffering during her life, St.

Herres still trusted deeply in God. We mentioned earlier that St.

Torres lost her mother when she was only for. She was picked on at school. She lost her second

mother, her older sister Pauline, when Pauline entered the convent. So Terez went through

a period of depression and years of extreme sensitivity.

She also suffered from tuberculosis.

It was this illness that claimed her life.

She spent over a year suffering from it slowly. And even

then she fought the temptation to fall into despair and she united her heart to

Jesus Christ.

Today let's pray to have the same trust and strength

when we suffer through hard times.

The suffering can come in many forms, but none of us are immune to it.

Jesus carried his cross and asked us to take up ours and follow him.

Since that is what he asks,

he will give us the grace and strength

to endure the suffering of this life,

as long as we continue to trust and hope in him. St. Torres, pray for us. Let's

particularly pray for those suffering with anxiety and depression.
