We cannot find peace by avoiding these experiences.
We cannot fully grow without fully experiencing these feelings.
Indeed, we cannot fully grow in empathy and in our ability to represent the Holy Spirit without accepting that these feelings, these experiences, will return again and again.
But the Holy Spirit is always, always present and available to strengthen us and to guide us.
