[Quoting Cardinal Wyszynski on words pronounced on 11 May 1946, the day before the future Cardinal was ordained bishop] "Being a bishop has something of the Cross about it, which is why the Church places the Cross on the bishop's breast. On the Cross, we have to die to ourselves; without this there cannot be the fullness of the priesthood. To take up one's Cross is not easy, even if it made of gold and studded with jewels."
(John Paul II, Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way, p 189)
