"Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it"


ROME

Gospel Reading: Luke 9:22-25 Do you know the healing and transforming power of the cross? When Jesus predicted his passion his disciples were dismayed. Rejection and crucifixion meant defeat and condemnation, not victory and freedom. How could Jesus' self-denial, suffering and death lead to victory and life?

The cross of Jesus Christ leads to freedom and victory over sin and death.

The Cross is the definitive revelation of love and divine mercy.To enter into this mystery of love there is no other way than that of losing ourselves, giving ourselves to God and to our brothers and sisters.
