You cannot better appreciate your worth than by looking into the
mirror of the cross of Christ; there you will learn how you are to deflate your
pride, how you must mortify the desires of the flesh, how you are to pray to
your Father for those who persecute you, and to commend your spirit into God’s
hands.

This is quite a challenging to-do List for this Friday morning, Father :-) Still, this is the way to go. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDaunting for sure, but they are the costs of our faith.
ReplyDeleteAs Claire says, this is challenging. And I often don't make the mark but with the help of our Lord, I will keep trying. Blessings to you.
