I love movie quotes! I am always getting one stuck in my head and the best line from the movie The Princess Bride is, "life is pain, Princess, anyone who tells you different is selling you something!" While that is a downer and certainly, not an outlook to follow I believe it is true. Life is full of problems. Little problems, big problems, silly problems and life changeing problems all whirling around at a pace that seems to get faster and faster. While we all have problems I think the way we handle them will affect our relationship with Jesus! Give your problems to God but also the suffering that goes with those problems. The expression used to be offer it up to God and somewhere in our Catholic outlook we have lost the fact that life is pain and that pain can be made into something beautiful when offered to Jesus.
