So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out
to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hewbrew is called
Golgotha. There they crucified him.
Make no mistake, resistance is my enemy. It will not quietly go away and leave me
alone. I have to slay it like a dragon,
and I have to slay it anew each day.
What does it feel like to be disoriented?
How does Jesus on the cross inspire me to overcome resistance in
my life?
Focus:
If Jesus had not beaten resistance, there would be no Easter.
Act:
Spend some time in quiet reflection today. If I can, schedule some time during the three
o’clock hour, when Jesus died on the cross.
As I read today’s Gospel and reflect on Jesus’ passion and death,
consider how he can inspire you to battle resistance in my own life.
Pray:
Jesus, may your victory on the cross fill me with the courage to
persevere in times of difficulty, and the hope to see beyond the cross to the
joy of the Resurrection.
Amen.
