Source of Mutual Suffering?

It is impossible for two people to live
together without being a source of mutual
suffering, and as we cause others to suffer,
it is but just that we should bear with their
failings also, and such a burden is light since
Jesus Christ helps us to carry it.

Do not therefore be so lacking in sense,
so unreasonable and so unchristian as to pretend
that you should not have to suffer anything from
your Brothers and Sisters. This would be truly
asking a most unheard of and extraordinary miracle.
Do not expect to see such a thing during the whole of
your life.

- St. John Baptist de La Salle -
