"When people tell me they are anxious or despairing, or that they are feeling too alone, my advice is very simple. I tell them, 'Get a crucifix.'
"Not a cross, a crucifix. Get a small one that can be kept discreetly at your desk. Get an even smaller one for your pocket, to carry with you. Get one for your home.
"Keep the crucifix before your eyes, and it will teach you everything. It will train you to take a 'long view' of things."
In a recent commentary, writer Elizabeth Scalia reflected on the importance of keeping the crucifix ever before us.
