(The rectory of the Cure of Ars)

"To suffer lovingly is to suffer no longer. To flee from the cross is to be crushed beneath its weight. We should pray for a love of the cross - then it will become sweet." 

~ St. John Vianney, the Cure of Ars.

(One of my daughters drew this image)

Three men had to carry their crosses to Calvary and die on them. Do we want to carry ours like the thieves did, kicking and screaming and swearing, or like Our Lord did, with courage, love, and serenity, meriting great graces?
