Making pain meaningful

Obedience makes our actions and sufferings meritorious in such a way that, no matter how pointless they may seem, they in fact can be extremely fruitful. One of the wonderful things Our Lord has done is to have made the most useless things, like pain, meaningful; by his obedience and his love He has made it glorious.

R. Garrigou-Lagrange, The Three Ages of the Interior Life
