God's Correction Is for Our Good
anifestly, it
is not true that the screams of someone undergoing a painful operation
should hold back the hand of the surgeon who is skillfully operating! Is
the surgeon cruel for continuing in order to heal the patient?
Seek nothing but God's help whenever you are corrected by him. See to it that you do not perish, that you do not depart from the Lamb and be devoured by the lion!
-- Sermon on John 7, 12
Prayer. Lord, you are the virtue dwelling in my mind and the hiding place of my thoughts!
-- Confessions 1, 13
