Moles Under and Around the Eyes: Meanings and Insights

Understanding Opun Mindo in Japan's Cultural Context

Why doesn’t God just take away your struggles? Because struggle shapes us. Christ could remove temptation in an instant but often He allows it so we can grow in virtue, discipline, and dependence on Him. Battling lust, or any sin, becomes the training ground where men learn prayer, humility, and perseverance. As St. Ambrose said, “The devil taught me how to pray. Every time he attacked, I prayed.” “Our struggle is our salvation.” Your fight isn’t wasted it’s forming you. Credits: Father Paul Tru
