Gospel
Luke 14:25-33
Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple
Great crowds accompanied Jesus on his way and he turned and spoke to them. ‘If any man comes to me without hating his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple. Anyone who does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
‘And indeed, which of you here, intending to build a tower, would not first sit down and work out the cost to see if he had enough to complete it? Otherwise, if he laid the foundation and then found himself unable to finish the work, the onlookers would all start making fun of him and saying, “Here is a man who started to build and was unable to finish.” Or again, what king marching to war against another king would not first sit down and consider whether with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other who advanced against him with twenty thousand? If not, then while the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to sue for peace. So in the same way, none of you can be my disciple unless he gives up all his possessions.’
Jesus help us to give you first place in our lives, above family, friends, money and possessions.
Picture
Picture of Our Lord placing a small thorn into each of His people’s hearts, the thorn seemed to irritate each person's flesh but with the ache from it a cross was formed, until each person’s heart embraced the Cross.
"My people the only Way to the Father is through Me. The road I walked you too must in some measure walk. This walk is the walk of Calvary, keep close to Me Your Loving Saviour and you will no longer fear or feel the cross as burdensome or painful, for I will walk with you and like an arrow pointing the Way to Heaven you will arrive in safety and then yours will be the joy of having passed through the dark of the storm to Eternal Light. No more tears just Eternal Bliss where My loving arms will surround you.
Your Jesus"
