“The Cross of Christ is our hope. The cross of Christ is also the means of his glorification. Lifted up on an instrument of pain and ridicule, the cross is simultaneously God’s definitive answer to the anguish of the human heart. With love he faces his greatest trial-and thus teaches us all to do the same. In doing so, he demonstrates that love triumphs over evil and that death cannot hold Goodness itself in its grasp. For us, the cross of Christ is our hope, because he is the first fruits of the future resurrection, we know that our present pain is not the last word-God’s eternal love in the person of his Son is the last Word. Secure in this knowledge, we can endure any suffering, knowing that Christ will also save us from the power of darkness and raise us up to new life with him. In the end, everything is going to be all right.”

Ivana Meshell, 8.5.08
