"Who can ever attentively consider Jesus, that beautiful youth, fatiguing and exhausting himself to bring into form some rough-hewn piece of wood, and not exclaim: But, most sweet youth, art Thou not that God, who by a mere nod didst create the world out of nothing? And how comesit that Thou hast labored now for a whole day, and bathed in sweat, to fashion this piece of wood ; and even still Thy work remains unfinished? Who has reduced Thee to such a state of weakness? O holy faith ! O divine love ! O God ! O God ! how such a thought as this, if once well penetrated, would suffice, not only to inflame us, but to reduce us, so to speak, into ashes with the fire of love ! Has a God, then, come to such a pass as this? and wherefore? To make himself loved by men!" - St. Alphonsus Liguori

I'm praying for you!
