THE
CROSS
One
board nailed
across
another.
For
more than
2000
years,
people
have followed this sign. In the middle of the
Cross
is the heart of the man who died
upon it.
A
peasant who established a kingdom. A carpenter
who
built a church for all times. A
sentenced
criminal
whose death won eternal life. The
Cross
is a sign of contradiction: We gain our soul
by
losing it. Our
weakness
is our
strength.
The
last
shall be first.
Our
enemies
deserve
our love.
The
greatest deed
is
to care for the
least
of humanity.
At
the
juncture
of two
planks,
all truth
can
be found –
the
crux of life
and
death. Let us
make
the way of
the
Cross our
way
of life.
