All is not yet lost

Quote to ponder

Here's something Fr. Jack quoted to us in today's homily - from the homily a friend of his gave at the first Mass he celebrated.

"Sometimes God breaks our hearts so we can love even more."

I'm still thinking this one over, and I'm not sure how to take it.  It makes sense in the same way that 'what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger' makes sense.  What I am not sure of is how much I believe that God tests/tries/toughens us up this way. 

I will probably have more to say about this, but for now I'm just thinking it over.
