The Cross...

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. ~Galatians 6:14

The Cross is my portion -- it is my sweet rest and support. I could not be happy without my Cross -- I could not lay it down for all the world would give. With the Cross I am happy, but without it would be lost. The only way I have of trying to show my gratitude to God for all that He has done for those I love, and for us all in general, is in the Cross.  ~St. Mary McKillop

"...O Thou of God and man the Son,

Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,

Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown."

~Fairest Lord Jesus
