Wisdom from Thomas à Kempis

 
 
 

O faithful servant of Jesus, raise your eyes upward and with a sad heart and grieving face look upon your God and Redeemer hanging between the lofty arms of the Cross… He stretches out his most loving arms to you; he shows you his open wounds; he bends his head to kiss you; he is prepared to receive you in his favor and without any hesitation to forgive your sin.

—Thomas à Kempis

from his book, On the Passion of Christ: According to the Four Evangelists
