How do you handle your crosses?

The cross was the vehicle for the glorification of the Son of the Father. Christ accomplished the work the Father gave him (John 11:1-11). Jesus glorifies his father by doing his will, by enduring the cross, and by fulfilling the Father's purpose of blessing for many by means of the cross.

What are your crosses? The paschal mystery, passion, death, and resurrection of Christ, culminates the glorious life of Christ. In the lives of many of us happens the same. When we are born, our birth is gift we did not deserve. Life is given to us to be developed into maturity. And the culmination of our growth takes place through the paschal mystery that ends in the resurrection of each one of us. There is no resurrection without passing through the death of the body.

There are therefore in our life three big moments. The birth, the life and the death. The first and the last do not depend on us. The second is given to us to have it grow and develop. And it is in this period of our life when we have to work hard on our sanctification. And it is in this moment of our life when we encounter the crosses and the sufferings they carry. Are you aware of your crosses? How do you handle them? Suffering and crosses are necessary in life, but the most important is how we handle them. Jesus is our model.The will of his Father was always in his mind.
