“Of all things on earth that which we know least is our own self.  We know the sins and defects of others a thousand times better than our own.  That great truth, it seems, was unheeded on the journey to Calvary.  The pious women saw only the Suffering Christ whom they loved; they did not see the loving Christ who suffered for them.  They sympathized with the pain, but did not see themselves as the cause of that pain.  It was their own sins and mine as well, which He took upon Himself, and as if to bring that truth home to us all there welled up from the depths of the Sacred Heart the plaintive words: Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Stations of the Cross)
