Unless you learn to empty yourselves... and carry you cross... you can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven
This is important. The concept of carrying our "crosses". My confessor told me this the other time when I observed the sacrament of reconciliation. I was feeling quite guilty and he reassured me that all men have these crosses, a sinful nature. He told me that it is not our body that defines ourselves, but what we do with our body. Just because one is tempted does not necessarily mean we should follow through with said temptation. Carrying one's cross allows one to resist that temptation to sin, or what say you. The Good Lord will send forth good graces to strengthen us during these moments in our lives.
Yes, you're right, Fr. Roel. We all have our own crosses and we are all called to carry them....
