Carrying Our Cross Daily

by | Sep 16, 2008 | Sermons | 8 comments

I just listened to a wonderful (12 minute) sermon on “Carrying our cross daily” which was just given on Sunday, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross.

“There are things that God gives us to, in a way, bring more sanctification into our day to day life…

…Sometimes God wants to give us larger crosses…

…So these crosses, apart from our day to day crosses, God gives us extra large ones if he sees we are able to carry them…

…but He never gives us a cross that we are not able to carry. And so we know the way to holiness is by making sure we carry our crosses in the best way possible…”

It was very inspiring, and something I very much needed to be reminded of this morning. If you’d like, you can listen to the whole sermon here.

    I never did get a chance to listen to the whole sermon yesterday, I am hoping to today. But I wanted to tell you thank you for posting it. It was very timely for us yesterday and Hubby and I even talked about it last night.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
