Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Hebrews 12: Endure your trials as discipline, for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines. The Lord is the Master Teacher, Christ the Divine Teacher. There is no part of the Christian life which is not ordered to our holiness. Even sin, even brokenness, even weakness for the Christian has a salvific meaning. Not even our sins can keep us from our Lord, because in the sacrament of penance it is exactly because of our sin that we draw near to Jesus.
