In this Sunday's Gospel the Lord Jesus tells us: "Whoever wishes to come after me must take up his cross, and follow me." Here's a little sneak preview from my homily: You know who is always there to help us carry our Cross? Jesus’ Mother Mary. She was with him through all his suffering. She stood at the foot of His Cross. And she is our Mother too. Listen to this wonderful prayer from St. Alphonsus Liguori: “Ah my most sweet Lady you who were innocent suffered with so much patience. My Mother I now ask your favor not...to be delivered from crosses, but to bear them with patience. For the love of Jesus I ask you to obtain at least this grace for me from God.” I hope to see you at Mass this weekend! God bless you, Fr. Peter
