The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear
its weight,
just place your cross inside this room. Then,
open that
other door and pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief and said,
"Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told.
Upon entering the other room, he saw many
crosses;
some so large the tops were not visible. Then,
he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far
wall.
"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered.
The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross
you just brought in."
