Real Life Lessons from the Saints
"The saints did not see suffering as an obstacle but saw their suffering as opportunities" - Jon Leonette St Peter reminds me of the constant battle with Christianity and indeed with life in general. Imagine denying the lord three times, he was constantly in a mental battle, always questioning and doubting.

She reminds me that though now a saint, being human comes with spiritual darkness but at the end, perseverance remains key. Sometimes it's self inflicted troubles or sufferings at the hands of others. As St Teresa Avila famously replied God "if this is how you treat your friends, no wonder you have so few" such a witty reply but she reminds me to have some humour though dealing
