The splinter actually came from the crown of thorns hanging on the cross and it was the moment I first tried to move the cross and felt its heaviness that moved me the most. And in reality it was a fairly light in comparison to what Jesus must have carried. I just kept thinking about that….

Yet he kept himself nailed to the cross. May his love never cease to amaze us! Thanks for sharing this moment, Jean. Even little things like that can lead to thoughts that take our breath away.

You made so powerfully present Jesus’ asking us to take up the cross and follow Him, no matter where the splinters of agony may fray us along the way. He has gone before us, made the way clear; as long as we, too, carry the cross. Blessings, and thank you for these words today.
