| I am the Way, by Ariel Agemian |
When the chief priests and the guards saw Jesus they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him." ... They cried out, "Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, and carrying the cross himself he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
(John 19: 6, 15-17)
Prayer: Lord, grant us strength of purpose that we may faithfully bear our crosses each day.
Meditation from The Imitation of Christ: Book 2, Chapter 12; The Way of the Cross
5. If you willingly bear the Cross, it will bear you, and will bring you to the end which you seek, even where there shall be the end of suffering; though it shall not be here.
by Ariel Agemian
If you bear it unwillingly, you make a burden for yourself and greatly increase your load, and yet you must bear it. If you cast away one cross, without doubt you shall find another and perhaps even a heavier cross.
Until next time, be imitators of Christ!
