Where no killing, there no virtue

Where no killing, there no virtue. Select killing, which do not kill the others. If you see a poor wood cross, lonely, erbärmlich, worthlessly… and without Gekreuzigten, then it knows that this cross is your cross: the cross each daily, hidden, without gloss and without comfort…, which waits for its Gekreuzigten. This Gekreuzigte you must be.
