Life or Death- Losing Life to Save It
Jesus: “Do you want to give yourself to Me entirely and without reserve? I, the Man-God, ask this of you. I need you for My work of Therefore renounce yourself completely with all your strength and all your will. You must serve only Me. No one else and nothing else now exists for you. Only I.” (Jesus) (September 1, 1962)
Todays’ Readings: Then he
said to all,
“If anyone wishes to come after me, he
must deny himself
and 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)
Prayer Meditation- Today in the first reading from Deuteronomy 30 we read that You have put before us life and death- our choice. The Gospel shows us the way forward- You ask us to pick up our cross daily and follow You. Not anything big or heroic, just our own little crosses tailor made for us- our family, our work, our health, all of our difficulties. Lord help us in the every day to choose life and to bear our crosses with patience and perseverance. All things are passing- only You remain!
