Crosses are the richest gifts which God can bestow upon his creatures. And when they willingly accept of them, it is the most acceptable sacrifice they can offer to their Creator. -- Imitation of Blessed Virgin Mary, by Saint Ambrose.

 

Way of Holy cross destined for us is the richest of all blessing we receive from the hands of God because through Holy Cross our sins are purified, our soul is converted and also our life will be pleasing to God.

 

In today’s world most of the preachers are busy preaching people about money and health so that people may focus only on that. Most of the people have fallen trap to that so wherever miracles happen regarding money and health there people will be flocking and wherever suffering is preached we find very few people going.

 

Money and health cannot save us, we have to understand that even after having lots of money and good health still our soul can perish in hell but those who accept crosses joyfully may look like fools to the worldly people but they are walking towards heaven.

 

Crosses are destined for us not to destroy but to purify, cleanse us from the stain of sin and save us from the eternal punishment. We all may think after death it’s easy to go through punishment but it is not true as many saints say that 1 day in purgatory is equal to 80 years of suffering and joy on earth.

 

Cross is not easy to go through if we do not have prayer life. Without prayer every small crosses will be hard to carry that’s why most of us want to quit prayer because of the cross thinking that we have received it because of being in prayer. Truth is Cross can come into our life anytime when we are in prayer or also when we are not in prayer. If we accept it joyfully then surely that same cross will shape our future life.

 

We have to understand that everyone doesn’t receive the same cross but it will be given to everyone by God according to His plan and purpose. We have to know that bigger the cross, bigger will be the plan and purpose of God for our life.

 

Let us accept Cross which is the biggest blessing ever we can receive from the loving hands of God Almighty. Let us accept it joyfully and receive the final reward from the Lord for bearing it in silence.
