“O Cross, chosen and designed to do such ineffable good: you are praised and exalted not so much by the minds and tongues of men, or even angels, as by the works that have been done thanks to you. O Cross, in whom and by whom salvation and life have come to me, in whom and by whom all good things come to me: God would not have me glory unless it be in you (cf. Gal 6:14)”
