⁣SufferingWell

Do you know that as Jesus brought Salvation to this world through His Suffering, Death, and Resurrection, we are called to share in His sacrifice through the crosses we must bear?*

Each one of us is graced with the privilege of joining Jesus on a tiny sliver of His Cross by uniting our sufferings, sacrifices, and temptations with His own.**

Through His Divine Mercy, we are blessed each day with the opportunity to offer the Lord our hardships to alleviate the anguish and sorrow of others, drawing both them and ourselves so much closer to Him!

*New American Bible, revised edition:

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me” (Jesus, Mt 16:24)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of His body, which is the church (Apostle Paul, Col 1:24)


**As expressed through the words of St. Paul the Apostle, St. Pope John Paul II, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Faustina, St. Padre Pio, et al.



Fr. Mike’s words on taking up our crosses may come as a relief to many of us. He rejects the “harder is holier” approach, and reminds us that taking up our crosses is ultimately about having more freedom. Christ says “My yoke is easy, and my is burden light” (Matthew 11:30). God has a particular task for each of us, and taking up our crosses means denying what we want for our lives so that we can do God’s will. After all, that is what we were made to do and the only way to truly be free. “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 16:24-25).MORE FROM ASCENSION:Ascension’s main website: http://ascensionpress.comAscension Media: https://media.ascensionpress.com SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AscensionPress/Twitter: http://twitter.com/AscensionPressLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/compa....ny/ascension-pressIn http://www.instagram.com/ascensionpress/ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/ascensionpresents
