There is no smooth path to God
which we can ascend with all our expectations of life confirmed and fulfilled.
There is only the way of the cross, where the condemned and crucified Jesus contradicts our expectations, forces us to see ourselves as we really are, not as we would like to be seen, and reveals the world as
a strange new landscape we had not seen before,
a paradoxical game in which only losers can succeed.
