Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, September 14, 2010

Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
-
Matthew 10:38

Reflection: The cross is the greatest gift God could bestow on His Elect on earth. There is nothing so necessary, so beneficial, so sweet, or so glorious as to suffer something for Jesus. If you suffer as you ought, the cross will become a precious yoke that Jesus will carry with you.
-
St. Louis Grignion de Montfort

Prayer: Lord Jesus, impress upon me that without a cross on earth there will be no crown in heaven. Help me to bear my cross daily for You as You bore Your Cross for me and all human beings.
