Crux probat omnia

The Cross tests everything - Martin Luther


I wonder which part of ourselves, our lives, our being that we would not be willing to put to this test.  I suspect there are many aspects of our lives which are much safer tucked away in their own personal niches (little votive candles softly illuminating them) that are far too honored by the Great "I" to be put to such a test.  Yet, if we did, if we nailed those silly notions to that most sacred tree they would not shed a single drop of blood, for there was no life in them to begin with.
