“The cross is the most unwanted reality of or in life, for it is completely the contradictory of what life is, as it is totally opposed to the deepest aspiration of each man and woman, which is a life of unending happiness and comforts, a life that is immortal. This is so, given the ignorance of what the holy Cross really is. Thus, there’s a need to understand and accept what the holy Cross is, as an assent of faith.”
