Just for Today, February 26

The whole life of Christ was a cross and a martyrdom: and dost thou seek rest and joy?
Thou errest if thou seekest any other thing than to suffer tribulations: for this whole mortal life is full of miseries and beset on all sides with crosses.
-Bk. II, ch. xii.

To live by love is not to rest
On Thabor's blissful height;
There is another hill I know,
More precious in my sight:
Love follows the Beloved still
To Calvary again,
To share with Him the mystery
Of loneliness and pain.
-Poems
