O Lord, who for the feeding of your flock have set your servant Michael over it as a successor to the Apostles, grant him, we pray, a spirit of counsel and fortitude, a spirit of knowledge and piety, so that, by faithfully governing the people entrusted to him, he may build up in the world the sacrament of the Church. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Deacon Notes:

Today's notes focuses on Matthews Gospel, verse 38, ..."and he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me." This is a striking image of the demands and consequences of discipleship, Jews needed no explanation of it, since the Romans utilized crucifixion as a torturous means of execution for many criminals during NT times. Jesus here assures us that faithfulness will entail self-denial, suffering, and possibly death. Before His Passion, the cross symbolized shame and rejection; afterward it symbolizes the glory of Christian Martyrdom. We need to pray for our children and grandchildren, one day our Religious freedoms will be taken away, then we'll see the true meaning of this scripture. Are you ready to take up your Cross and follow Jesus?

Good day and God Bless, Deacon Arch
