Willingly take up your
cross and follow me.
Sufferings has meaning.
It purifies you and helps
you to lift up your eyes
and heart to God pleading
for love and acceptance.
You become holy and loving
when you accept yourself
as a sinner in deep humility.
For anyone who wants
to save his life will lose it;
but anyone who loses his life
for my sake, that man will save it.
(Please read the Gospel of Luke 9: 23 in the Holy Bible) .
