God is gentle... He is so benevolent...

What can I say to you about this, except that no matter how weak we might be, we are in the all-powerful hands of God, and that God is gentle. He may occasionally require us to partake in His suffering, but even then He remains hidden in the depths of our hearts. He is so benevolent that over time He uses us, who are nothing, to build that amazing thing which is His kingdom.

(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
