“God might have redeemed the world by a manifestation of His glory;
but He chose to do it by shame. Jesus was rejected of men, and they hid their faces from Him as if ashamed to own Him. This lot He has bequeathed to us.”
– Cardinal Manning
For Reflection:
How have I tasted the bitter experience of rejection and shame? To what extent am I willing to allow Jesus to “redeem” it for me?
