Without the Cross, there is no growth in holiness. If we eliminate the Cross, we eliminate Christ. The sign of the Cross is a most terrible weapon against the devil. And yet the Cross remains a scandal and stumbling block - even for very devout Catholics. In theory, we praise it; but in practice, we lose courage, complain, and run away as soon as the possibility of suffering arises (just think how Mass and the public practice of our faith have recently been cancelled). The Cross is precious because: [1] It make us resemble Christ. [2] When well carried, it is the source, food and proof of love. [3] It brings everlasting glory. Embrace the Cross with faith and trust in God. Pray for the grace to accept and love your cross. Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christi Crucified and be silent.
