Updated weekly (Sunday 30/08/2026):
Jesus sets out conditions for discipleship. We are told by Christ to renounce oursleves, take up our own crosses and to follow him. Consider what daily crosses we are willing to carry so that we may find the fullness of life promised by Jesus. Are we able to commit to pray the rosary or reflect on the scriptures each day? Or to replace angry thoughts with prayers for those who persecute us? This is the price of discipleship. Is it a price we are prepared to pay?
