Cacciaguida - "defending the 12th Century since the 14th" - has a cartload. I like the observations about St. Simon of Cyrene. Cacciaguida has this to say:
It's a strange and brief friendship, but it changed Simon's life: how else explain St. Mark's obvious assumption that his readers will be so familiar with Simon's sons that he can identify Simon simply as "the father of Alexander and Rufus" (Mark 15:21)? St. Josemaria says:
Years later, Simon's sons, Christians by then, will be known and held in high esteem among their brothers in the faith. And it all started with this unexpected meeting with the Cross.
Interesting.
