Fire of love, consume me!
The absolute best spiritual exercise you can do is to meditate on the crucifix. Let your heart adore Jesus as the broken Lamb of God, bloodied and wounded, as a sign of the Father’s ultimate love for his beloved children. We are His beloved and this sacrifice is very pleasing to Him because we are His beloved; it is exactly a paradox: something so hideous, so awful; this is LOVE. The suffering Lamb of God is our way to holiness, because it is complete surrender to the Father, everything, surrendered to the Father is the path to holiness. Surrender, surrender, surrender.
