Trust and expected

May 4

 Yes, stay alive forever united to Jesus Christ dying and suffering in the Garden of Olives, and thus participating in the anointing of His grace and strength relief, you are in the same orchard of olive trees on your death, to participate in the joy of his ascension and glory. [...].
Learn, then, to suffer all Christian and not fear, for no suffering, no matter how low the reason thereof, will be without merit eternal life. Trust and hope in the merits of Jesus, and thus the humble clay is transformed into the finest gold that shine in the reign of the heavenly king.
(August 4, 1915, to Raffaelina Cerase - Letters. II, p. 470)
