When Christians suffer, they, like Paul, can consequently take courage from the fact that their lives will mediate to others the power of the Resurrection, either through God's act of deliverance or, even more profoundly, through the testimony of their endurance. In either case we are summoned to trust God in the midst of our afflictions in the confidence that God will ultimately deliver us. By so doing, God's power will be manifest in our weakness.

Wash and drain cherries.  Remove stones and reserve 8 whole cherries for
garnish. Place cherries in a bowl; add kirsch. In a small pan boil 3 T
sugar and the water for a minute to make a thin sugar syrup. Add syrup to
cherries; stir to blend. Cover and let soak for 20 minutes. Cut the
ladyfingers in half, divide into 4 portions, and place in individual glass
dishes.  Arrange cherries on top. Thoroughly blend cream cheese, 3 T sugar,
vanilla extract, and ground almonds. Whip the cream and carefully fold it
into the cream-cheese mixture. Spoon over the cherries.
