In front of the big ‘why’ of life we have two paths: to stay to watch gloomily the tombs of yesterday and of today, or to bring Jesus to our tombs…Yes, because each of us has a small tomb, some area that is a little bit dead inside the heart: a wound, an injury suffered or done (to us), a bitterness that does not let up, remorse that returns, a sin that you cannot overcome…Instead, invite Jesus; we are tempted to always look to ourselves, brooding and sinking in anguish, licking our wounds, rather than going to him, who says, ‘Come to me you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’
–Pope Francis (1936-
