Physical strength and health is important, it enables us to do our work and perform our mission in this life. Spiritual strength, Grace from God, is more important than physical strength; because, physical strength lasts only for a little while; but, spiritual strength lasts for all eternity.
Following the example of Christ's crucifixion, what in the eyes of the world at that time looked like a defeat, was in reality a great spiritual victory and death itself was conquered by Jesus on the Cross.
Spiritual strength or Grace from God is given to those who follow Jesus and live according to His word, offering up even their sufferings to God according to His will.
The handicapped, the sick, those who suffer from being lonely, those whose road in this world is very difficult can gain spiritual strength from God and it is they who are the strong ones.
As we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Our Blessed Mother through the Mysteries of the Rosary, we find that at the times of great difficulty in their lives, they followed the Will of God and by following their example, we can gain Spiritual Strength and Salvation.
