"If we
meditate on the Passion of our Lord
we will have
the grace and strength to take up our cross daily.
You see that
each day there is a cross to carry;
some days it
is big, some days, smaller.
But we
ourselves are the biggest cross,
with all our
defects, with our evil inclinations.
We must go
against ourselves and carry our cross.
May we have
the grace to carry it well!"
- Venerable
Sr. Thecla Merlo, fsp
