“Dear friends, let us lay our daily crosses before god in our prayers, in the certainty that He is present and hears us. Jesus’ cry reminds us that in prayer we must surmount the barriers of our…problems and open ourselves to the needs and suffering of others. May the prayer of Jesus dying on the Cross teach us to pray lovingly for our many brothers and sisters who are oppressed by the weight of daily life, who are living through difficult moments, who are in pain, who have no word of comfort; let us place all this before God’s heart, so that they too may feel the love of God who never abandons us”  -  Pope Benedict XVI
