to endure
Holiness is not measured with “spiritual” feelings but with obedient perseverance.
You shall accept all sufferings with love. Do not be afflicted if your heart often experiences repugnance and dislike for sacrifice. All its power rests in the will, and so these contrary feelings, far from lowering the value of sacrifice in My eyes, will enhance it
—as told to Saint Faustina,
Diary, 1767

Very pertinent..
