To be a disciple of Jesus means to take up the cross and follow him. The cross isn’t synonymous with suffering, it means extreme love, a limitless love like Jesus has, that doesn’t break in the face of misunderstanding or rejection. The price of all authentic and faithful love is the cross.
Silvio José Báez, O.C.D.
Auxiliary Bishop of Managua

We all have so much to learn! As you say, the good bishop never disappoints.
