Deny Yourself
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Day
In today’s Gospel, Jesus challenges us as his disciples to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow him. None of these actions is easy. To put God’s will before our own, to willingly accept what will make us suffer, and to follow someone who was put to death on the cross, is very difficult.
But we will not be alone, for Jesus is with us as we follow him. Also, as he tells us in the Beatitudes, our reward will be great in heaven. Let us realize his real presence as we celebrate and receive the Eucharist.
