Thought for Lent 2024
“In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.”
Thomas a Kempis
