Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. - Luke 9:23
Included in the Spiritual Works of Mercy is: "Bear Wrongs Patiently". Following Jesus is not an easy road, and we shouldn't be surprised that it often puts us at odds with those who fight the Good News that Jesus represents. But we cannot shrink away from our responsibilities, even when we may be unfairly persecuted for our beliefs. Let us remember that the Cross is not a grave-marker, but a ladder that leads to heaven.
