GROW AS A DISCIPLE | PRAY, STUDY, ENGAGE, SERVE GROW: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel don’t leave much room for “secondary interpretation.” Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.

Sometimes we might think that way: That repenting means punishing ourselves or feeling sorry. […]
Reflection Reasons to Rejoice Saint Paul seems to be throwing out a handful of sayings that may sound overly optimistic, but are actually very practical. “Rejoice always? Who can do that?” It sounds absurd, but the next two lines give it context: If we pray constantly and thank God for all that happens to us, […]
