O Lord of Hosts, happy
is everyone who trusts in you
and seeks fruits of the
Spirit: love, peace,
patience, kindness,
generosity,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
self-control.
Why, then, should we spend
our work and wealth
on things of the flesh,
that do not satisfy--
even on hateful things
that made
the Son of Man suffer
contempt and
death?

is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt?
