5th Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux:
“To live out of love here on this earth doesn’t mean to set up one’s tent on Mount Tabor. It means to climb Calvary with Jesus. It means to consider the Cross a treasure. In heaven I will be able to live in pleasure. Then all the trials will disappear, but here in exile, I want to live in suffering out of love.”
