I have not worn one for a long time. I never understood as a Catholic why there was so much focus on the suffering. Yes, i realize that i should know what Jesus endured for me/us, but i was not certain the cross was where HE wanted us to place our energies. I began to feel it directed our contemplation on the evil rather than the glory of His resurrection. Then when i began waking up i read somewhere that the satanists used the crucifix in mockery. So i prefer to focus on Sunday morning.
