August 29th amp 30th mdash 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus knew that he would face the cross Like Jesus life will

bring us to difficult places and we will face obstacles

Sometimes on our path of discipleship the obstacles are

within us I lsquom not gifted I donrsquot have the time I am home-

bound Sometimes the cross we are asked to carry is very

near to us praying for someone who annoys us taking the

trouble to recycle finding and buying fair trade products

learning about Church teaching on an issue that troubles us

What cross is yours to carry this week
