Just to prove that God has a sense of humor, I post these photos here, taken from my iPhone.
He knew of my attraction to His passion, and deigned to share with me. It incapacitates, and makes me shudder thinking about what His passion was like in reality, because the reality of trying to hobble around on this sore foot gives pause for sure. The pain when I put weight on the foot is penetrating. I find myself wondering how St. Padre Pio could stand to walk around when he was one truly sharing in the fullest way, with the cross of Jesus. The pain penetrates truly all the way through just exactly as if there were nails, and I can openly endure this happenstance happy in my imitation of my Lord, safe in the thought the glory is His and the pain is mine to treasure in His love, and I am free for humiliation such as my sins deserve.
May the Good Lord bless His children with peace and all the good things we need, abundantly.
