"The word cross, however, should not make us think only of special sufferings, which, while not excluded, are not generally our portion. First of all, we must think of those common daily disagreeable things which are part of everyone’s life and which we must try to accept as so many means to progress and spiritual fruitfulness."
"He does not want our sorrows to be sterile, but to become a cross, that is, a means of elevating and sanctifying our souls. In fact, all suffering is transformed, changed into a cross as soon as we accept it from the hands of the Savior, and cling to His will which transforms it for our spiritual advantage."
"However, to understand the value of the cross is not equivalent to bearing it; we need fortitude as well."
"Therefore, let us accept them with calmness, and not allow ourselves to be submerged by things which are unpleasant;"
