Your Cross
The everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from
eternity the cross that He now presents to you as
a gift from His inmost heart. This cross He now sends
you He has 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 consolation,
taken one last glance 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.
-St. Francis de Sales
