We must be so careful that we do not refuse the cross that the Lord has given us to carry. Let us remember that our present sufferings serve to prepare us for entering into the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Surely there is no more wretched sight that the human body unloved and uncared for.

To know the Cross is not merely to know our own sufferings. For the Cross is the sign of salvation, and no man is saved by his own sufferings. To know the Cross is to know that we are saved by the sufferings of Christ; more, it is to know the love of Christ Who underwent suffering and death in order to save us. It is, then, to know Christ.

We have the DNA of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is to the Cross that the Christian is challenged to follow his Master: no path of redemption can make a detour around it.

The Lord Jesus Christ is our partner, helper and advocate.
