Bearing The Cross After Jesus (Mark 15:16-41)

feeds@ancientfaith.com (Fr. Patrick Reardon) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:36:18 -0500

All three of the synoptic gospels speak of Simon of Cyrene, compelled to bear the cross of Jesus. Holy Scripture gives us no reason to suppose that Simon of Cyrene had been a believer in Christ before that day when the Roman soldiers compelled him to assume the weight of the Holy Cross but that was the very beginning of his discipleship. He became the model of those who followed Jesus to the place of crucifixion outside the walls of Jerusalem.

feeds@ancientfaith.com (Fr. Patrick Reardon) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:29:49 -0500

In the petitions of the Great Litany, we begin by asking "for the peace from above and for the salvation of our souls." Only after we have asked for this peace do we ask "for the peace of the whole world." Christ is the source of our peace, and the only possible source of peace for the whole world.
