“We are much closer to the truth if we say Christ took the
sufferings of mankind upon himself. He did not recoil from them, as man always
does. He did not overlook suffering. He did not protect himself from it. He let
it come to him, took it into his heart. As far as suffering went, he accepted
people as they were, in their true condition. He cast himself in the midst of
all the distress of mankind, with its guilt, want, and wretchedness.
This is a tremendous thing, a love of the greatest
seriousness, no enchantments or illusions—and therefore, a love of overwhelming
power because it is a ‘deed of truth in love’ (Ephesians 4:15; 1 John 3:18),
unbinding, shaking things to their roots.”
~Romano Guardini
