Daily Reflection Friday of the Sixth Week of Easter

There are time when the world is referred to as the valley of tears. On other occasions we are more conscious of being in pain because of what is happening. Jesus, may we see beyond the suffering to the new life you have brought about by your own self-giving love.

Jesus, you came to offer new life and brought it to birth through your suffering. Help us to accept the challenges and difficulties of life so that we may share in the joy you desire for us.
