: Hi Anne,
: But it IS surely true that once one is saddled by something that cannot be changed, then the acceptance of this and working within the situation to love as best as possible is indeed formative unto holiness. That's the spiritual message being imparted in this passage, even if the first part limps a bit in its theodicy.
: Hope this helps,

Thank you, Phil....yes! the author truly could use an editor! I appreciate your clarification.
The last part of your message reminds me very much of the Serenity Prayer....
Blessings, and grace,
anne
