Most of us are familiar with this phrase… Seize the day- Tomorrow we die.
What a difference a day makes… yesterday we celebrated and today we have the Gospel passage from Matthew that sure wakes up anyone who has adopted a prosperity gospel ideal.
“Anyone one who wishes to follow me, must deny himself and take up his cross…”
The cross we are to take up is the mission of Christ… what we are to deny is our own will, or a mission of self.
To have life and have it abundantly is to Love God and Love your Neighbour, the mission is to leave Peace.
Start doing this today … for tomorrow we may not have the chance.
Peace, DG

Hi Guy,
Thank you for sharing. Not easy to carry our crosses at times.
Keep Chanelle in your prayers. She shared with me that she doesn’t believe in God. I TRUST IN YOU LORD. HIS WILL, HIS TIME, I PRAY FOR HER CONVERSION. I ASK ST. MONICA TO INTERVENE THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS.
I hope you are well, we miss you & your family at St. Columba’s
God bless your day
Diane
