    Wtf does “marked by the mystery of the Cross” mean? Is that a euphemism for “God didn’t help her even though she begged Him and we just don’t know why (but He obvi does real u guis believe me mysterious ways and all that)”?

      Asking my Catholic dad he sent

      The mystery of the cross lies in the paradox of divine love, where God uses the weakness of a death sentence to achieve salvation, and that God is not found in places of power, but when you are weak and despairing.

        I was raised Catholic and I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean. The usual word salad.
