Some people just shouldn't have children.

I heard a woman describe her terrible childhood. Her father walked out on the family very early in her childhood and was never heard from again. The woman vividly remembers her mother crying every day. They were poor and life was difficult.

By the grace of God, the woman became a sister. That woman is Mother Angelica. Her mother eventually became a sister and joined Mother Angelica in her convent. Mother Angelica affectionately recalls her mother addressing her as "Mother."

We shouldn't sell God short. Good can come out of suffering. Just look at the Cross.

You're preaching to the wrong choir. I'm an atheist.
