Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Those who wish to be My disciples must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow Me.
- Luke 9:23

Reflection: Every Cross that we see in the world becomes a silent reminder for us. The true victory that overcomes hatred in the world is ultimately self-sacrifice, in constant fidelity flowing from the power of love.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: Your Cross, Lord Jesus, is a sign of life and an invitation to sacrifice. When I am confronted with selfishness and hate, give me the courage to embrace the Mystery of the Cross. Help me to remember that only love truly conquers.
