(The miraculous image in Segovia, Spain, of Our Lord carrying His Cross)

"The Cross is the way to Paradise, but only when it is borne willingly." ~ St. Paul of the Cross

How blessed we are that Our Dear Lord came and showed us in Person! He didn't stay on His throne in Heaven and send us an angel to tell us to suffer for our sins with willingness and cheerfulness. He came and suffered for us first, to show us the Way. Let us take up our cross daily and follow Him!
