We fail to realize that in following Christ, we follow Him to the Cross | PadreCast: Thirteenth Sunday Ordinary Time

So often, we fail to realize that in following Christ, we follow Him to the Cross. That in this life, we have no resting place. The only thing we can be sure of is that we will suffer and die as Christians. That’s it. That’s all Jesus promises us.

Our Lord warns each one of us who want to follow Him: Don’t be deceived. The only thing you can hope for in this life is the Cross, and My love.
