. .
. although I want to grow spiritually, I am afraid because I have been
overwhelmed by the cross and God did not give any respite despite my call
to Him and at the back of my mind there is this thought: If I grow closer
to God, I will be given a heavier cross. I don’t think I can take any
more crosses. The saints are made of hardier stuff than me.
 LL you have to do
to become a saint is want to become a
saint. Keep in mind here that saints are made through love and trust, along
the way of the cross, not born into piety.
Keep in mind also that the weight
of any cross is purely subjective. The more you are attached to the
world—and to
defending your own
pride—the heavier any cross will feel; the
more you are detached from the world, through genuine
humility, the lighter any cross will
feel.
Now, you might say that you
don’t know how to love or how to
trust. Well, the answer is surprisingly simple:
just follow the spiritual counsels on this website
and you will learn love and trust directly from the hands of Christ, the
Blessed Virgin, and all the saints.
It’s not easy, but it is
really very simple—simple enough that even someone of great
fear and little trust can become a saint. In fact,
the Church is founded on and built of such persons.

AT
ONCE Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be
afraid.”
Peter said to Him in reply, “Lord, if it is You,
command me to come to You on the water.”
He said, “Come.”
Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water
toward Jesus.
But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened;
and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him,
and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you
doubt?” |
