All our trials can become Jesus' trials if we but allow it ...

All our trials can become Jesus' trials if we but allow it, since he has anticipated, condensed and overcome them all in his own temptations. He has "foresuffered" all. We overcome our temptations only by seeing them primarily as his own and ourselves as the ones who wait by his side during the battle. ... in each new trial he undergoes, he reveals to us a new aspect of the holiness, fidelity, and goodness of God in man.
Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
That's one of the things I love most about Jesus — there's nothing I'm facing that he didn't face first.
