The Holy Cross
A quote from Catherine:
"..May I never be free from His Holy Cross!
That sound quite dire for our day. We want to get away from the Cross, make life easier and not feel pain. Somehow we can go through life anethesized, not really living. To feel, to really feel, is to feel pain as well as joy. It's a concept one learns as one progresses in the spiritual life.
Does that we become morbid and enjoy being a martyr, seeking pain? No, of course not. It means we begin to live without having to be free from all of our pains and aches. it means not complaining for the simple things. It means offering up those inconveniences each day. is this an "old spirituality"?
Actually it is a new spirituality. It is a timeless spirituality. We have a pill for everything. The new way is to live through it, to honor that which comes our way and to bring it into our consciousness and still pray in the midst of it. May today, the feast of Christ the King, remind us that the way to glory is through the Cross!
