Mariam was reading chatper 5 of St Paul's Letter to the Romans.
She remarked to Rabbi Jesus, "Paul's concept of hope stands fast through all the vagaries of life, and ultimately builds our character and our particular spirituality . . . "
The Rabbi answered, ". . . forged by the hammer of the anvil of God."
Individual holiness is often won through the crucible of difficulty. God allows the purification of each soul through life lessons which, at times, may appear hard. Yet despite temporal difficulties, our hope is eternal: Christ died for us that we may gain eternal life.
