Reflection
"There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us, and does not now bear with us...And on the far side of every cross we find the newness of life in the Holy Spirit, that new life which will reach its fulfillment in the resurrection. This is our faith. This is our witness before the world."
-Pope St. John Paul II
Question
How do you respond to Jesus' message to be unafraid of suffering and death? When do I make sacrifices for my faith, my family, or others?
