It's striking how Jesus puts it in today's Gospel: "Take up your cross and follow me." He does specify where He is going or where He is leading the person who will follow Him. Of course, we know that He is going to Calvary to die. But in the concrete, in our lives, that Calvary can take many forms. Oftentimes, it is not where we would have wanted to go, if we had the choice. But precisely, Jesus says 'follow me.' He will lead the way. Or He is THE way. Where the destination is is not important. What is important is that we are with Jesus, we are following Him, and not carrying our cross and going our own way.
Have a nice week ahead!
