By Plinio Correa de Oliveira
In appearance, Our Lord was defeated, but in reality He was the Victor.
In the course of our apostolate, it may seem that we are defeated. Do not become discouraged, but remember:
Those who are defeated, yet defeated carrying their cross, are the true victors.
Because the cross is the wood of defeat, the wood of suffering, the wood of infamy, wood of pain, wood of glory.
He who is crushed by the cross is victorious, and he who is victorious without the cross is defeated.
