Today’s Gospel

And he added, “The Son of Man must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the elders and chief priests and teachers of the Law, and be put to death. Then after three days he will be raised to life.”

Jesus also said to all the people, “If you wish to be a follower of mine, deny yourself and take up your cross each day, and follow me! For if you choose to save your life, you will lose it; but if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it. What does it profit you to gain the whole world, if you destroy or damage yourself?

Today’s Reflection:

Creatures like snails, turtles and tortoises are some of the slowest crawling animals on earth because of the shells they carry. Despite this, they never see their shells as burdens. In fact, their shells are essential parts that makeup what they are. Their shells are embedded in their identity as turtles, snails and tortoises. Moreover, their shells’ quality determines the level of protection they receive. /Vulnerasti, 2022
