Behold the Wood of the Cross

Your Cross
Our everlasting God has, in His wisdom, forseen from eternity the cross that He has presented to you as a gift from His inmost heart.
He has considered this cross with His all knowing eyes, understood with His Divine mind, tested with His justice, warmed with loving arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it not be one inch too large, and not one once too heavy for you.
He has blessed it with His holy Name, anointed it with His grace, perfumed it with His consolation and having taken one last glance at you and your courage, sent it to you from Heaven...a gift from the all merciful love of God.
-St. Francis de Sales
