"Remember this at the moment of sorrow or expiation: the Cross is the symbol of the redeeming Christ. It has ceased to be the symbol of evil, becoming instead the sign of victory." The Forge #782
 

I honestly believe everyone should read St. Josemaria Escriva's three best known works, "The Way," "Furrow," and "The Forge." I got a nice 3-in-1 copy and it is so very good!
