Quotes by Megan Hjelmstad (?)

“God will not allow a single ounce of suffering unless it has the potential to bring about a far greater good in the end.”
― Megan Hjelmstad, Offer It Up: Discovering the Power and Purpose of Redemptive Suffering

“God is in no way, directly or indirectly, the cause of moral evil. He permits it, however, because he respects the freedom of his creatures and, mysteriously, knows how to derive good from it” (CCC §311).”

“Our suffering has the potential to be not only spiritually healing but eternally victorious. In short, wherever we see suffering, we can be assured of an eternally greater good.”
