EMBRACE THE CROSS

The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Sharing notes of talks by Msg Philip Heng @ Holy Hour at The Cathedral of the Good Shepherd

 

The battles of our heart create guilt in us. We crucify Jesus in our hearts. 

When we feel far from God, beg for God’s mercy. Ask for the grace of greater awareness.

 

 

Holiness is to be like Christ. We need to be concerned about how we are living our lives.

Never take our faith for granted. Never assume that we are fine if we are not committing serious sins.

Am I committing the sin of omission by not being concerned nor aware of how I am living my life?

 

Daily ask Lord, How can I love you more? How can I be more open to you?  

Ask for deeper desires, new inspiration. Ask for greater awareness.  

The Lord is inviting everyone of us to deeper holiness.

 

The mystery of fidelity is to embrace the cross

Expect trials, never turn away from pain and never be discouraged. Carry the cross, unite it with His love.

True faith dares to embrace the cross.

When we dare to love the cross, it means we dare to trust the Lord.

If we do not dare to trust the Lord, it is because of our self love.

 

Pray for wisdom and strength.

Live in trust.

Tell the Lord, I am willing to embrace the cross.
