23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
We are to take up
our cross and follow
Jesus each day.
Jesus taught throughout His life that to live as His disciples, we must take up our cross each day and follow Him. Doing so requires that we love Him above all other people and things in our lives. It also requires a willingness to let go of anything that may hinder us in growing in our love for the Lord.
