“So whether they are our abilities or our disabilities, whether it is our strength—physical or emotional—or our infirmities and weaknesses, all of these things come to us from the hand of God. The extreme case, of course, is Job; Job was a righteous man, and yet he was given tremendous infirmities…In this way we see that everything that is given to us is given by God for our salvation, for our transformation, for our progress in coming to meet Christ face to face…”
(Fr John Konkle in the  ‘Burning Bush’)
