Accept whatever happens to you; in periods of humiliation be patient. For in fire gold is tested, and the chosen in the crucible of humiliation. Trust in God, and he will help you; make your ways straight and hope in him. (Sirach 2:4-6)
After they had met his Mother, after Simon had permitted him to take some rest, after the sweet, tender, and courageous gesture of Veronica, we see our Divine Model fall for the second time.
This is a great lesson for us. Let us move forward sensibly, always in the same direction; let no failure depress us too much; let no success make us lose our mastery of ourselves. Nothing will help so much in this conduct of our lives as the sight of our Lord continuing on with all serenity to fulfill his mission: our redemption.
— Mother Marie Des Douleurs
