Media > Carrying the Cross

"Quite
 honestly, this generation needs to re-learn what it means to take up their
 cross and follow Christ. We moderns comprehend the loving Father we know
 God to be, but we ever seem to forget that love requires sacrifice, that
 love without sacrifice is nothing, that in proving our love we too will
 discover a cross, a cross we too must embrace for love of God and our
 fellow man. Quite frankly, there is no love without the cross; not without
 our Lord's cross, not without ours.
