A modern translation by John Rooney of the 15th century classic which has opened its treasures to a new generation of readers. An earlier translation: "Lo, in the cross standeth all things, and in dying lieth all; and there is none other way of life and to very inward peace but the way of the holy cross and of daily mortifying for if thou be dead with him thou shalt also live with him." The Rooney translation: "Look at it this way. Under the cross everything stands together; under death all is laid out. There is no other way to life and to inward peace except by dying daily to oneself in the way of the holy cross."
