 MARCH 21 Appreciating Christ's Passion |
PRAYER. Let me acknowledge that the cares of the world are little in comparison with the sufferings You have endured for me, O Jesus. |
|
HOW little is our pain, our hardships,
compared with those which Christ voluntarily
undertook for us! If He, the Sinless,
underwent these, what wonder is it
that we sinners should endure the hundredth
part of them?
If we felt them as we ought, they would be to us, at seasons such as that now coming, far worse than what the death of a friend is. We should not be able at such times to take pleasure in this world. |
