“Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:25-33) 

 Following Jesus isn’t always easy. He asks us to carry our crosses—big or small—and to trust Him every step of the way. Together, we learn to love, forgive, and remain faithful; family prayer helps us achieve this. When we choose Jesus daily, even in difficult moments, we grow stronger in faith and closer to Him. Amen.
