A Lenten Reminder
Some nourishment for our minds and souls:
"...the Gospel of today's Mass reminds
us that if we are to follow Christ we have to carry our own Cross...There is no
such thing as a Christianity without the Cross, designed for soft and
pusillanimous Christians with no sense of sacrifice...One of the clearest
symptoms of lukewarmness having entered into a soul is...an abandonment of the
Cross, a contempt for little mortifications, a scorning of anything that in
some way involves sacrifice and self-denial...The Christian who goes through
life systematically avoiding sacrifice will not find God, will not find happiness.
What he will have been taking care to avoid is his own sanctity."
Quotes from From In
Conversation With God
(Vol. 2: 2.1 and 2.3 by Francis Fernandez)
