The Lord Wills Our Good

“God has made the attainment of our happiness His glory. Since he is by His nature infinite goodness, and since as St. Leo says goodness is diffusive of itself, God has a supreme desire to make us sharers of his goods and of his happiness. If then he sends us suffering in this life, it is for our own good: ‘All things work together unto good’ (Rom. 8:28)”

- Saint Alphonsus de Liguori [Uniformity With God's Will]
