When we are sick, are we able to accept it as part of God’s plan? However, many people are not able to accept them gladly when they are suffering from a serious illness. Instead of going through such situations of guilt, a person has to grow to the level of accepting the sick as part of God’s plan.
Sickness has become an opportunity to draw closer to God in the lives of many saints. When we suffer from sickness, it must be acknowledged, and the grace to receive it must first be asked of God. Being a sick person can turn into an opportunity to grow spiritually. The lives of Saint Theresa and Saint Alphonsa are given as examples of this. We can also pray for those who care for us when we are sick.
When a person is sick, God gives him many other blessings. We are having our beloved ones to be with us to take care of. Many people visit us and convey to us how much they love us. We must not fail to recognize those blessings. So let us pray that being in sickness must turn into the experience of great blessings.
