John 19:17-18, “So they took Jesus, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified Him.” The church always begins its prayer with a sign of the cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Some people do like this. That’s not the sign of the cross. We see Jesus hanging on the cross. So that’s why we say, “In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” And whenever we do that, it should remind us of Jesus hanging on the cross. The cross with which He saved us is a sign of salvation, the sign of love.

Serve as Jesus Served
Matthew 20:28 says, “Even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.” You heard what Jesus said. Jesus was not sitting in the palace waiting for people to come. He went out and reached out to the people. He was healing the sick and feeding the hungry. You heard the lame walk, the blind see, and if you want to be a follower…

Yearning For God
Listen. I haven’t tried to die, so I can’t explain what I don’t know. But this is what I’m trying to say: there is a struggle in that moment of death. All hope is almost lost. And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are…

Good Listener
Hey, are you a good listener? This one is for you. So, praying is the first thing somebody decides when entering religious life. As you pray, you seek advice. Don’t keep it to yourself. I repeat, don’t keep it to yourself. Samuel, he had this call. He wasn’t sure, but he thought he was guessing. “Maybe it is Eli.” Eli told Samuel, saying, “Speak, Lord; your servant is listening.” And that’s when we pray, asking the Lord what you want…
