Unite yourself to Jesus crucified
Life is short. An old proverb says: “God visits suffering upon those whom He loves.” Let us unite our crosses, our afflictions, e.g. physical suffering or illnesses… with the suffering of Christ. If you are healthy, thank God for that. But then you should perceive all the more the spiritual cross: injustice caused by the system of the world and sin, spiritual misery and blindness reigning in the world, blasphemies against God, Jesus being degraded and not loved! We need to see it and cry out to God in prayer. And if we unite ourselves daily to Jesus crucified, the Lord draws us more and more deeply into the mystery of the cross of Christ. Seeing that Jesus is not loved fills us with spiritual rather than physical pain. And then, when we become aware of our own betrayals, that “I do not love You either, my Lord”, tears are not enough for us… My Lord, please grant to me that I may love You, that I may cry out to You!
