Catechism on Suffering
by Saint John Vianney
If someone said to you, "I should like to become rich;
what must I do?" you would answer him, "You must labor:'
Well, in order to get to Heaven, we must suffer. Our Lord
shows us the way in the person of Simon the Cyrenian; He
calls His friends to carry His Cross after Him. The good God
wishes us never to lose sight of the Cross, therefore it is
placed everywhere; by the roadside, on the heights, in the
public squares -- in order that at the sight of it we may say,
"See how God has loved us!" The Cross embraces the world;
it is planted at the four corners of the world; there is a share
of it for all. Crosses are on the road to Heaven like a fine
bridge of stone over a river, by which to pass it. Christians
who do not suffer pass this river by a frail bridge, a bridge of
wire, always ready to give way under their feet.
He who does not love the Cross may indeed be saved,
but with great difficulty: he will be a little star in the firma-
ment. He who shall have suffered and fought for his God will
shine like a beautiful sun. Crosses, transformed by the flames
of love, are like a bundle of thorns thrown into the fire, and
reduced by the fire to ashes. The thorns are hard, but the ash-
es are soft. Oh, how much sweetness do souls experience that
are all for God in suffering! It is like a mixture into which
one puts a great deal of oil: the vinegar remains vinegar; but
the oil corrects its bitterness, and it can scarcely be perceived.
If you put fine grapes into the wine press, there will
come out a delicious juice: our soul, in the wine press of the
Cross, gives out a juice that nourishes and strengthens it.
When we have no crosses, we are arid: if we bear them with
resignation, we feel a joy, a happiness, a sweetness! . . . it is
the beginning of Heaven. The good God, the Blessed Virgin,
the angels, and the saints, surround us; they are by our side,
and see us. The passage to the other life of the good Christian
tried by affliction, is like that of a person being carried on a
bed of roses. Thorns give out a perfume, and the Cross
breathes forth sweetness. But we must squeeze the thorns in
our hands, and press the Cross to our heart, that they may
give out the juice they contain.
The Cross gave peace to the world; and it must bring
peace to our hearts. All our miseries come from not loving it.
The fear of crosses increases them. A cross carried simply,
and without those returns of self-love which exaggerate trou-
bles, is no longer a cross. Peaceable suffering is no longer
suffering. We complain of suffering! We should have much
more reason to complain of not suffering, since
nothing makes us more like Our Lord than carry-
ing His Cross. Oh, what a beautiful union of the
soul with Our Lord Jesus Christ by the love and
the virtue of His Cross! I do not understand how a
Christian can dislike the Cross, and fly from it!
Does he not at the same time fly from Him who
has deigned to be fastened to it, and to die for us?
