When the old man Eleazar was about to die in punishment for not eating food forbidden by Jewish law, he said, “The Lord in his holy knowledge knows full well that, although I could have escaped death, I am not only enduring terrible pain in my body from this scourging, but also suffering it with joy in my soul because of my devotion to him.”
2 Mc 6:18-31
What are we willing to surrender, beloved, in order to gain
eternal life with God? Even our earthly flesh?
Sometimes there are easy ways out.
But in the longer run, who does it really help?
And whom may it hurt even worse?
