Roses are red...

"Without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of grace. The gift of grace increases as the struggles increase."
St. Rose of Lima


An amazing woman, St. Rose of Lima has a story that in my eyes cannot compare to many others. In choosing her as my confirmation saint last year, I really look up to her. She willfully choose struggle to be present throughout her whole life, in order to be able to see the beauty in it one day. Without struggle, we cannot be satisfied. Thus, we learn from the obstacles that come before us and become stronger.
