sometimes the crucifixion of our will comes through other people whom we bear, or whom we must serve, or whom we must obey.
sometimes the crucifixion of our will comes through sickness and disease, past our ability to do anything about it.
sometimes circumstance serve to crucify our will as they crush the dreams, plans, and ambitions that we hold so closely, like idols which resist the touch of the Living God.
that suffering, dying, and the daily crucifixion of our will can lead to the deepest level of divine life is a mystery we scarcely fathom. but here we see it in Jesus, enveloped by torment and opposition, going willingly to death for the redemption of all creation.
