the cross

This cross, Christ's cross, the holy cross, we should take up — so we can walk carrying it — 'daily'. The day we do not feel on our back the weight of the cross, the day our mind fails to recognize its value: that is the day when we do not live as disciples of Christ. You should look at the cross with faith and carry it with love. Never feel, not even for a minute, a 'victim'. The cross does not make victims; it makes saints. It does not cause sad faces but happy smiles. A person who lives in this way understands that there is only one victim — Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for all of us, who suffered and died abandoned.
