> “Mary said: ‘I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say.” (Luke 1:38)

> “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God and faith in me.” (John 14:1)

> “…We even boast of our afflictions. We know that affliction makes for endurance, and endurance for tested virtue, and tested virtue for hope. And this hope will not leave us disappointed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5)

> “I consider the sufferings of the present to be as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:19)

> “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians2:9)

> “Praised be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation. He comforts us in all our afflictions and thus enables us to comfort those who are in trouble, with the same consolation we have received from him. As we have shared much in the suffering of Christ, so through Christ do we share abundantly in his consolation.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-5
