But there are two ways to face these difficulties: to look at them as something that blocks you, that destroys you, that detains you, or to look at them as an opportunity. And you can make a choice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n <em>\u201cOur God, like a father with his child, teaches us to walk, teaches us to walk along the path of life and salvation. It\u2019s God\u2019s hands who caress us in our moments of pain,comforting us. God caresses us! He loves us.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n <em>'Let us not be imprisoned by the temptation to be alone and disheartened, to feel sorry for ourselves for what happens to us. Do not yield to useless logic and inconclusive fear, resigned to repeat that everything is wrong and nothing is like it used to be. This is the atmosphere of the tomb; the Lord wants to instead open the way of life, the encounter with Him, trust in Him, the resurrection of the heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n <em>\u201cIn moments of sadness, whether a little or lot, in the dark moments: prayer, patience and hope.

How do you come out of this very negative experience? There is one remedy, one remedy alone, to come out of these experiences. To do that which you did not receive. If you didn\u2019t receive understanding, then be understanding with others. If you felt pain of loneliness come close to those who are alone, flesh is cured by flesh and God became flesh in order to cure us, let\u2019s do the same ourselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 26, 2017. \u201cThere are two ways to look at difficulties: as something to destroy you or an opportunity,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":28699,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nnBNgdktcfk","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/belpapayeldoloreng.mov","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/belpapayeldolorint.mov","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50399"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
