To suffer we must whether we want or not. Like the good Schächer, the others suffer the one like the bad. Of the holy minister of acre.

(kreuz.net) both Schächer suffered in same way. But the one understood it to make his suffering fruitful.

It accepted its suffering in the spirit of the penalty. When it turned to the gekreuzigten welfare and, it heard the marvelous promise from its mouth: „Today you with me in the Paradiese will still be. “

Contrary to it other curses, wishing and Gotteslästerungen discharged. It died in most terrible despair.

There is a double suffering - a loving and a rejecting.

The holy ones suffered patiently, joyfully and steadfast, because they loved. We suffer with anger, annoyance and weariness, because we do not love.

If we loved God, we would be pleased, from love for it - which for us wanted to suffer - to suffer to be allowed.

You say, that is heavy. No, it is sweetly, gentle and comforting. It is a luck. Only one must love in suffering and suffer in the love.

See, my children, on the way of the cross fall to one only the first step heavily. The fear of the crosses is our worst cross.

We do not have the courage to carry our cross. What a mistake. Because which always we do: The cross holds us, and we cannot escape from it.

What do we have to thus lose? Why aren't we to love our suffering, if us thereby the way to the eternal life is opened?

Nevertheless most of the cross turn away and flee. The more they run, the more pursue them the cross, the more strongly meet it them and crush them under its load.

This understands well, my children: Who expects to the cross calm and courageously, which more rarely it will meet. If it meets it, it will not make it unfortunate. As loving it takes it on itself. It carries it courageously and becomes one with our gentleman.

The cross cleans it and takes to its soul the attachment to this world.

Suffering help it like a bridge over the river over there to the bank of the eternal luck blessedness.

If the dear God sends us a cross, we are fast discouraged. We deplore ourselves. We murren and hate everything that contrary-runs unserm desire to always live as bedded on roses.

But now begins a thorn path, which we must go. By the cross we are received into the sky.

The diseases, temptations and pain are the crosses, which lead us to the sky. All this will soon past be. Arranges your view of the holy ones, which arrived before us.

Let it to us make like the soldiers of the king. A bridge, which was under rifle fires, had to be crossed. Nobody dared to precede. There the king took the flag, marched as the first, and all followed.

We do the same. We follow our gentleman, who preceded us.

The cross is the ladder to the sky. As it is tröstlich to suffer and in the evening during its conscience research to say be able from the eyes of God:

„Wohlan, my soul, you experienced today two, three hours, in which you were similar to Christ: You were gekreuzigt gegeißelt, with thorns crowned and with him. “

What a profit for dying. As well it dies itself, if one lived under the cross.

Someone would say to us: „I would like to become gladly rich, what I must do? “You would become it answers: „You must work. “Correct. And in order to come into the sky? But we must take the cross on us.

The holy Johannes Maria Vianney († 1859), called the holy minister of acre, lived a life of the penalty and complete devotion as a minister. It is called as a patron of the priests.

bonifatius: Christ - Buddha no

@Onan:. „Whether the cross hangs now on the wall or it is a Buddha in the corner, should then be all the same. “You as more Godless already, me not!

Onan †: „… or für's native country (which is that?). “

who for „the native country “sacrifices itself is even debt. (Blood and ground ethics should be overcome hopefully with the majority)

If one the klerikalen cover with the requirements takes away gets one a guidance, as one gets along better (or well) with the neighbour, without hitting itself mutually the head. That should be important. Mutual respect, sole responsibility, to be able and the consequences carry to say no that is importantly!

Whether the cross hangs now on the wall or it is a Buddha in the corner, should be all the same then.

bonifatius: Operated world

The soul baumeln leave, to relaxen, on Wellness make - those are today key words, characteristics of our time.
„Which is the most important in the life? “The health naturally, but not dying in the grace. The heroes in our time are not those, which use themselves for the faith (Sektierer are, fools), which sacrifice themselves for their family or für's native country (which is that?). No, as exemplary ones it are held, the much money make - no matter whether as soccer players or as Medikus (at present one would like to collect however nearly alms), their candidate because of the study place in demand the number clausus to still jump over to have or other thousand-ASP (Robin Hood).
In short: One changed the values of the Dekalogs through „reeducation “, the coordinates shifted and thus the fear (German: Fear) of the cross production.
