[ezcol_1half]<\/p>\n

The cross with the cross<\/h4>\n

An old man dies.<\/p>\n

In his estate:<\/p>\n

A cross that was hanging on the wall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“No need!” say the heirs.<\/p>\n

We don’t need it.<\/p>\n

We don’t want it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It doesn’t fit in our home.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t fit into our lives.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t fit into our concept.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When would a cross ever have fitted?<\/p>\n

With its rough edges, with its weight,
\nwith its clearly life-destroying purpose?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And yet two thousand years ago<\/p>\n

one took one upon himself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One for all,<\/p>\n

who still helps us today,<\/p>\n

to carry our crosses,<\/p>\n

whether small or large.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the cross from the estate?<\/p>\n

That was finally<\/p>\n

taken by one of the heirs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just in case it fits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You never know …<\/p>\n

La cruz con la cruz<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Muere un anciano.<\/p>\n

En su finca:<\/p>\n

Una cruz que estaba colgada en la pared.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“\u00a1No hace falta!”, dicen los herederos.<\/p>\n

No la necesitamos.<\/p>\n

No la queremos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No encaja en nuestra casa.<\/p>\n

No encaja en nuestras vidas.<\/p>\n

No encaja en nuestro concepto.<\/p>\n

No encaja en nuestro mundo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo habr\u00eda encajado una cruz?<\/p>\n

Con sus bordes \u00e1speros, con su peso,
\ncon su prop\u00f3sito claramente destructor de vidas?<\/p>\n

Y sin embargo, hace dos mil a\u00f1os<\/p>\n

uno tom\u00f3 una sobre s\u00ed mismo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Una para todos,<\/p>\n

que a\u00fan hoy nos ayuda<\/p>\n

a llevar nuestras cruces, ya sean peque\u00f1as o grandes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bfY la cruz de la hacienda?<\/p>\n

Eso fue finalmente<\/p>\n

tomada por uno de los herederos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

S\u00f3lo en caso de que encaje.<\/p>\n

Nunca se sabe…<\/p>\n
