“If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself,
take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” Luke 9:23-24. St. Augustine said, “It is no
advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.” Let us pray, My Jesus, Your words are hard
and true. How to let go of ourselves, our ways, our wants? You must carry us Lord. You must
light the path, and never leave us, even for a moment, for we will squander our own souls apart
from You. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
