-“When the cross is embraced it becomes a sign of love and of total self-giving. To carry it behind Christ means to be united with him in offering the greatest proof of love.” St. JPII, World Youth Day address 2001
-”We cannot speak about the cross without considering God’s love for us…”St. JPII
-“Nobody escapes being wounded. We all are wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is ‘How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?’”Henri Nouwen, The Wounded Healer
-“The first two gestures (of the Sign of the Cross) form the letter “I” and the next two cross it out. That’s what the cross of Jesus meant and means. The path of discipleship is the path of self-sacrificing love…” Ronald Knox
