Hence the same Saint rebukes the sinner who complains of God for sending him tribulations. \u201cWhy,\u201d he says, \u201cdo you complain? What you suffer is a remedy, not a punishment.\u201d Job called those men happy whom God corrects by tribulation; because He heals them with the very hands by which He strikes and wounds them. <i>Bienaventurado el hombre a quien Dios corrige<\/i> . . . <i>Pues hiere y cura. \u00c9l hiere, y su mano curar\u00e1<\/i>. - (Job v., 17). De ah\u00ed que San Pablo se gloriase en sus tribulaciones: <i>Nos gloriamos tambi\u00e9n en las tribulaciones<\/i>. - (Rom. v. 3).<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Las tribulaciones nos permiten adquirir grandes m\u00e9ritos ante Dios, al darnos ocasi\u00f3n de ejercitar las virtudes de la humildad, de la paciencia y de la resignaci\u00f3n a la voluntad divina. El Beato Juan de \u00c1vila dec\u00eda que uno <i>Bendito sea Dios<\/i> en la adversidad vale m\u00e1s que mil en la prosperidad. \"Quitad\", dice San Ambrosio, \"las contiendas de los M\u00e1rtires, y les habr\u00e9is quitado sus coronas\". \u00a1Oh, qu\u00e9 tesoro de m\u00e9ritos se adquiere soportando pacientemente los insultos, la pobreza y la enfermedad! Los insultos de los hombres eran el gran objeto de los deseos de los Santos, que buscaban ser despreciados por amor a Jesucristo, y asemejarse as\u00ed a \u00c9l.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jes\u00fas m\u00edo, hasta ahora te he ofendido gravemente resisti\u00e9ndome a tu santa voluntad. Esto me produce mayor dolor que si hubiera sufrido cualquier otro mal. Me arrepiento de ello y lo lamento de todo coraz\u00f3n. Merezco el castigo: No lo rechazo: Lo acepto. Pres\u00e9rvame s\u00f3lo del castigo de ser privado de Tu amor, y luego haz de m\u00ed lo que Te plazca. Te amo, mi querido Redentor. Te amo, Dios m\u00edo. Y porque Te amo, quiero hacer lo que T\u00fa quieras.
