“The Everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from
eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His innermost
heart. This cross He now sends you is considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind, tested with His wise justice, warmed with
loving arms and weighed with His own hands, to see that it be not one inch too
large and not one ounce too heavy for you. He has blessed it with His Holy
Name, anointed it with His grace, perfumed it with His consolation, taken one last
look at you and your courage, and then sent it to you from heaven, a special
greeting from God to you, an alms of the all-merciful love of God.”
“We have received baptism, entrance into the Church, and the honor of being called Christians. Yet what good will this do us if we are Christians in name only and not in fact?”-St. Andrew Kim Taegon
