Today we celebrate the Triumph of the Cross. There are two aspects of the cross: sorrow and glory – a sign of contradiction and the source of our salvation.
"A housewife was busy doing
the house chores when suddenly her husband came from behind embracing her
tightly and carried her around the house lovingly. The woman surprisingly
blurted out: “Hey sweetheart why the sudden affection?” To which the husband
retorted: “Well, the priest today in his homily said that we have to carry our
crosses daily with love.”
What
a wonderful application of Jesus’ words about loving our crosses. Wouldn’t it
be nice if you embrace your husband/wife/friends/relatives/teachers/children
instead of cursing them as your crosses in life? You can practically apply
these to people you consider crosses in your lives. And you will see the
transformation it will make in any of your relationships.
What
could possibly be our crosses? Uncharitable criticisms, insults, indifference,
ingratitude, illness, disability, infidelity, endless tasks, unrewarding work,
abandonment, etc.? Heed Jesus’ call about the cross as a blessing and life will
be more bearable and meaningful. God bless.
