Priest. “At that time: Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and
forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?” Matthew 16:24-26. St. Rose of Lima said. Apart from the cross there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven.
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You are our perfect example. As You embraced the Cross to redeem us, grant us the grace to carry our own crosses faithfully, even when it means sacrificing our lives for Your sake. Keep us always by Your side through every trial and hardship. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
