Pope Benedict XVI expressed the following thoughts during the Stations of the Cross (Good Friday 2010) in the Colosseum in Rome, which may also be of interest to those passing by here in front of this wayside cross (crucifix):
"He [Jesus Christ] knows that his death becomes the source of life, just as the seed must break open in the earth for the plant to grow: 'Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit' (John 12:24). Jesus is the grain of wheat that falls into the earth, is torn open, breaks open, dies, and can therefore bear fruit. Since the day Christ was lifted up on the cross, the cross—seemingly a symbol of abandonment, loneliness, and failure—has become a new beginning: from the depths of death rises the promise of eternal life. On the cross, the victorious splendor of Easter morning already shines." (Pope Benedict XVI)
