We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Death reveals that the world is not as it should be but that it stands in need of redemption. Christ alone is the conquering of death.

Disciples will not be weakened by suffering, worn down, and embittered until they are broken. Instead, they bear suffering, by the power of him who supports them. The disciples bear the suffering laid on them only by the power of him who bears all suffering on the cross. As bearers of suffering, they stand in communion with the Crucified.

He who fears the face of God does not fear the face of man. He who fears the face of man does not fear the face of God.
