What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
I will consider all my years in the bitterness of my soul. Lord, if this is how one lives, and in such a life of my spirit, you will correct me and give me life. Nothing of the long things of mortals lasts, and all the happiness of the world, while it is held, is lost. For when the time of tribulation comes, everything that is past does not help the one who endures. Hence, the foolish sentiment of Epicurus is, who claims that the remembrance of past good things mitigates present misfortunes. …
Thomas Aquinas
777. O Lord, if man's life be such. Here he recalls the benefit which he has received; and first, correction: if man's life be such, that is, if the life of men is so miserable, or if life is acquired through tribulation: reproofs of instruction are the way of life (Prov 6:23).
