Reginald Walsh

“This it is which enabled the Martyrs to despise their torments, and made the Apostles rejoice to suffer shame for His sake. This it is which makes anguish tolerable which otherwise would be intolerable; for if it be borne patiently for love of Jesus, He has already in Himself, if not exhausted its bitterness, at least taken the main part of it on Himself. Every pang, every struggle, every throb of pain or agony which should fall to the lot of His servants till the end of the world, Jesus, our loving Lord, made His own on our behalf.”
― Reginald Walsh, Meditation on the Passion
