“No te quejes, si sufres. Se pule la piedra que se estima, la que vale.

¿Te duele? —Déjate tallar, con agradecimiento, porque Dios te ha tomado en sus manos como un diamante… No se trabaja así un guijarro vulgar.”

—

“Don’t complain if you suffer. It is the prized and valued stone that is polished.

Does it hurt? —Allow yourself to be cut, gratefully, because God has taken you in his hands as if you were a diamond. An ordinary pebble is not worked on like that.”
