the Church is like a great ship being pounded by the waves of life's different

prepare our souls for trial. Let us wait for God's strengthening aid and say
to Him: 'O Lord, you have been our refuge in all generations.' Let us trust in Him who has placed this
burden upon us. What we ourselves cannot bear let us bear with the help of Christ. For He is
all-powerful, and He tells us: 'My yoke is easy, and
my burden light.' Let us continue the fight on the day of
the Lord. The days of anguish and of tribulation have overtaken us. If God so
wills, 'let us die for the holy laws of our fathers,' so that we may deserve to
obtain an eternal inheritance with them." ------------------------ St. Norbert of Magdeburg
