The wounds of Jesus show us how costly love can be.
Those who care about others pick up a lot of wounds.
There may be no great wounds,
only a multiplicity of little ones.
But there can also be a lot of invisible wounds:
the furrows left on the mind and heart
by hardship, worry, and anxiety.
These wounds are not things to be ashamed of.
They are more like badges of honor.
They are the proof of our love.
