Psalms, 115

1. I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

11. I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

12. What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

13. I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

14. I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

15. precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16. O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

17. I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

18. I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

19. in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

“Não queremos aceitar o fato de que o sofrimento é necessário para nossa alma e de que a cruz deve ser o nosso pão cotidiano. Assim como o corpo precisa ser nutrido, também a alma precisa da cruz, dia a dia, para purificá-la e desapegá-la das coisas terrenas. Não queremos entender que Deus não quer e não pode salvar-nos nem santificar-nos sem a cruz. Quanto mais Ele chama uma alma a Si, mais a santifica por meio da cruz.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
