Gospel
Luke 9:22-25
Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘The Son of Man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.’
Then to all he said:
‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, that man will save it. What gain, then, is it for a man to have won the whole world and to have lost or ruined his very self?’
Reflection
What challenges do we face as Christian's? Christ instructions are very simple. Love God love your neighbor and love yourself. Pursue not treasure on earth but pursue treasure in heaven. The conflict we face today is more internal. Do we put God first or the way of the world?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may the holy spirit keep us strong in this challenging times.
Amen
