No comments on Crosses and Flowers

At Bangkok Butterfly Garden

If we accept the crosses [sent] by the love of Jesus, truly, these crosses are no more crosses, they are no more a suffering; they become really like a mass of flowers that Jesus looks to give us, so that we in turn offer them to him as proof of our love. It is with this conviction that I endure suffering, my soul still in peace…
Little Brother Marcel Văn CSsR (1928–1959)
