Carrying The Cross Quotes

“It was for me a constant source of hope and happiness to be able to feel that I could in a way shield Our Lord from the hostility which she really meant for Him, and, as it were, take upon myself the heavy cross which He had to bear on account of this soul; and I hoped, too, that I might thereby, perhaps, be helping towards the salvation of that soul itself.”
― Gertrud von le Fort, El velo de Verónica

“The cross is a paradox of grace: it is heavy, yet it is a light that guides us; it is painful, yet it brings healing; it is death, yet it is the door to life. Carrying the cross means sharing in Christ's suffering, and trusting that God is working all for our good. Those who follow Christ to Calvary will one day stand before Him, honored and crowned in glory, knowing that the cross was never the end, but how eternal life was won.”
