The Surest Path
The Surest Path
The cross teaches to believe in hope when there is no hope.
The wisdom of
the cross is deeply hidden in a profound mystery. In fact, there is no other
way to heaven than taking up the cross of Christ. On the account of this we
must be aware that the active life with its good works and the contemplative
life with its speculations, do not lead us astray. Both are most attractive and
give peace of mind, but for that very reason hide real dangers, unless they are
tempered by the cross and disturbed by adversaries. The cross is the surest
path of all. Blessed is the man who understands this truth.
