Consoled

"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy burdened and I will give you rest." So it is that Jesus calls to us; let us not keep our distance. If our sins are countless that is all the more reason for going to him, for we are the kind of people he is calling. ..He is the God of all consolation, of mercy, because unceasingly he consoles and encourages the unfortunate ones and the afflicted, even if they have committed thousands of sins...Let us be content to surrender and go to him and never leave him. Saint John Chrysostom
