Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-March 29

ON the cross I see it written that thou art a king. But apart from this title of scorn, what is the evidence that thou dost give of being a king? Ah, these hands transfixed with nails, this head pierced with thorns, this throne of sorrow, make me well know that thou art a king, but a king of love.
