What has the cross left in each of us? you see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which god has for us. a love so great that it enters into our sin and forgives it, enters into our suffering and gives us the strength to bear it. it is a love which enters into death to conquer it and save us.

What Has The Cross Left In Each

Pope Francis

What has the cross left in each of us? you see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which god has for us. a love so great that it enters into our sin and forgives it, enters into our suffering and gives us the strength to bear it. it is a love which enters into death to conquer it and save us.

Giving Faithful Suffering

More From Pope Francis

In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is excellence of virtue; in the cross is perfection of holiness. there is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.

A cross borne in simplicity, without the interference of self-love to augment it, is only half a cross. suffering in this simplicity of love, we are not only happy in spile of the cross, but because of it; for love is pleased in suffering for the well beloved, and the cross which forms us into his image is a consoling bond of love.

If you can't bear what's happening to the natural world, if you can't bear the way we treat each other; if you can't bear wars, you just can't bear the whole idea of war, which is possibly unavoidable. but still, you resist it. because you just hate our treating each other that way and causing that suffering.
