En Liten Betraktelse
Jag har nyligen kommit tillbaka från semester på Irland, där jag hittade den här lilla tänkvärda historien i St. Mary’s Church, Limerick.
The young man was at the end of his rope.
Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.
“Lord, I can’t go on”, he said.
“I have too heavy a cross to bear”.
The Lord replied,
“My son, if you can’t beat its weight,
Just place your cross inside this room.
Then open another door and pick any cross you wish.”
He sighed and did as he was told.
As he looked across the room,
he saw many different crosses.
Some so large that the tops were not visible.
Then he saw a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.
“I’d like that one Lord” he whispered. And the Lord replied
“My son, that’s the cross you brought in”.
