Words from Canon Niall
The Christian cannot eliminate the cross of salvation from his or her life no more than Jesus could. The mystery of suffering boils down to a test of love, of being willing to suffer for another, because we love that person so much. So we accept suffering in trust and confidence as Jesus did. That involves every kind of suffering, not just the physical kind, but also all the mental and emotional anguish, the frustration, the loneliness, the boredom of human existence. Accept it all we must, but we need not be surprised if that acceptance is a struggle as it was for Jesus. As we look at the crucifix, we remember that Jesus tells us to take up our cross. We could be tempted to say like Peter, ‘may I be spared, Lord, God forbid that any such thing could ever happen to me!’ One must not save one’s life as one would save a treasure, but as one who would lose a treasure by spending it.
Have a blessed week.

Thresholds of Hope : the Vicariate for Adult Formation - another wonderful tool when proclaiming the good news of God's grace to all. St John Henry Newman believed that the lay faithful were to take a full part in the life of the Church, to be confident in expressing their Catholic Faith and willing to share its beauty with others. Hope you find this resource useful; more here https://thresholdsofhope.co.uk/
