" Let us look at the hands of the Crucified. Our hands, like his, must be pierced so as to keep and to hold nothing greedily. Our heart, like his, must be open so that everyone finds welcome and refuge there... let us look at the Cross. It is the only book that will give us the true meaning of it... Only the Cross will teach us to ‘love to the end. "
