Today’s Gospel is a big ask, especially if one does not have community spirit and/or a preferential option for the poor. Then to all he said: If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. 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. What gain, then, is it for a man to have won the whole world and to have lost or ruined his very self?
Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it!
Whoever loses his life for my sake will save…
Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it!
