The cross is our victory!

Today, Jesus is teaching us on the essence of Christianity. The cross, though painful and horrible, leads our victory. There is a cost to pay for following Jesus.
Discipleship is a free choice of Jesus's type of life. It is not an easy way to live because it's not about self-fulfillment but self-denial and readiness to die for others. It is about giving even when we are not sure to receive back. It is always about loving even when we are not loved; pardoning even when we are not pardoned. That is the meaning of the cross of Christ, which leads to freedom, peace, and victory. The cross of Christ lead to victory over sin and death for it is the triumph of God’s love. Are you willing to lay down your life as Jesus did? Jesus is asking you: would you lay down your life down for me?

St. Edith Stein, pray for us!
