You cannot arrive at transforming union without spiritual and mental suffering because transformation demands it. You’re not able to face God in your present state—so you’ve got to go through physical suffering or spiritual suffering. Dryness, desolation, the darkness of faith; all of this is painful.
– from the book Mother Angelica: Her Grand Silence
