O God, Creator of mankind, I do not aspire to comprehend you or your creation, nor to understand pain or suffering. I aspire only to relieve the pain and suffering of others, and I trust in doing so I may understand more clearly your nature, that you are the Father of all mankind, and that the hairs of my head are numbered. SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI (C. 1181–1226) Persecution often does in this life, what the last great day will do completely — separate the wheat from the tares.
