Remember that Jesus has gone before you bearing His cross and has given His life for you upon that cross, so that you may bear your own cross and long to die on it for the love of Him. For if you die with Him, you will also live with Him; and if you have shared His suffering, you will also share His glory.
Behold how in the cross there is all and how all depends on our dying there; for there is no other way to life and interior peace except by way of the cross and by daily mortification. You can go anywhere you will, seek whatever you wish, but you will not find a higher road above nor safer road below than the road of the holy cross.
Imitation of Christ Book 2, Chap. 12, No. 3
Peace be with you!
