I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross.

I've heard that our greatest cross to carry is ourselves - how gravely we fall short.

Every man is crucified upon the cross of himself.

The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son.

Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection.

We all have a cross to carry. I have to carry my own cross. If we don't carry our crosses, we are going to be crushed under the weight of it.

To shun one's cross is to make it heavier.

I hope that increasing numbers of Christians adopt the practice of wearing a cross in a simple and discreet way as a symbol of their beliefs.

My mother's cross was given to me when she died. I like to have it always close to me.

Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith.
