Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch, offers prayers for peace in the Ukraine and the welfare of the people there. To this end, we beg the intercession of St. Josaphat, great martyr of the Ruthenian Church whose patronage extends over Belarus, Ukraine, and all Slavic Catholics. Today's reflection is, appropriately, on suffering, and why we must embrace it rather than flee from it, as well as the sorrow and suffering Our Lady underwent to be rewarded with her glorious Assumption, and the way in which we become perfect like Christ and all His Saints.
