Only a morbid fanatic can take pleasure in the sufferings he inflicts upon himself; only an insensitive fool can take pleasure in the sufferings that are the consequences of his folly; and only a convinced Christian can take pleasure in sufferings endured “for Christ's sake,” for he alone has been initiated into the divine secret, that it is only when he is “weak,” having thrown himself unreservedly in penitence and humility upon the never-failing mercies of God, that he is “strong,” with a strength not his own, but belonging to the Lord of all power and might.

Cocoa Pastry: In a bowl stir together flour, cocoa, and sugar to combine
thoroughly. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and the water;
beat until blended. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a fork
until dough clings together. Use your hands to press dough into a smooth
ball.
