Tradcatknight: Transformation: Away from the eyes of men
By: Eric Gajewski
Away from the eyes of men are we transformed. We must go within like the caterpillar must in order the shed our “old skin”. Indeed, we are ugly worms crawling in this life but through God’s grace we have the capability of coming out a whole new creature. It is the Cross which transforms us and yet it is the Cross that man in is human nature seeks to resist. St. Teresa of Avila once said that do not think that the man who is suffering is not praying. I concur. In fact, the man who suffers more is praying more. There is a change that is necessary for man to make if he is to gain entrance into heaven and this change goes unnoticed within. The Cross is often hidden under a smile but it is found beneath the material. I am a mystery unto myself as it is He who now suffers within. We all have the capability of flying in freedom as the beautiful butterfly does but the worm only knowing the ground seems to enjoy his horizontal view of the world. The Cross transforms us so that as butterflies we now have the capability of seeing the world completely different. The caterpillar without going to its cocoon will never change and thus the man who refuses the Cross refuses life eternal.
