Our Saviour on the cross

Day 31: Our Saviour on the cross "Consider, fourthly, how all things seem now to have conspired against our dearest Lord. The thought of being forsaken by his Father, and the grief and presence of his Mother, pierce him to the heart. As for his own apostles, one of them has betrayed him; another has denied Him, and the rest have abandoned him. His friends, and all those whom he had most favoured and miraculously cured, now either join with his persecutors, or at least are ashamed of him. His enemies insult him, and triumph over him. His own body by its weight is a torment to him. But what most of all afflicts him, is the foresight of the ingratitude of Christians, the little benefit they will derive from his death and passion, and the eternal loss of so many souls redeemed by his precious blood. Ah! sweet Jesus, suffer me not to be one of that unhappy number: suffer me not to be so miserable, as to join with thy enemies in crucifying thee by sin!."
