God allows struggle, suffering and evil so we can grow and mature spiritually. Pope Francis recently stated:
“A life without challenges does not exist and any boy or girl who doesn’t take on these challenges, has no backbone.” Pope Francis said this at the end of the Rosary, emphasising the fact that “a good mother” helps her children to understand what freedom is.
“Of course, it is not about doing anything one feels like, allowing oneself to be overcome by passions, going from experience to another without thinking and following the fashions of the time; freedom does not mean throwing everything we do not like out of the window so to speak.”
