This sign, at nearby Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, tickled me. The Calvary walk is a garden which includes various reminders of Christ’s journey to Calvary and features some quite narrow, steep steps. Putting a sign to warn visitors is an eminently sensible idea, so I’m not mocking that. However, I wonder if there was a bit of sly monastic humour behind the first few words? After all, choosing to follow Christ on his Calvary walk – what Jesus himself referred to as “taking up your cross” – is inherently dangerous. You can’t come out with your life intact because you need to die to self to take that path!
