My most beloved Lord, as I think about Your Cross I am filled with a deep sense of Your love for me and I am humbled. I thank You for the gift of my faith which provides me with the help and hope I need as I continue my life’s journey. To know that I am loved and that life is eternal makes the challenges of this life more manageable. Your Cross, and how You carried it, truly shows me how I must live. Help me to be, at least in some small way, more worthy of Your love and gifts. Help me to know the true meaning of Your Cross. As I request Your help, O God, I offer my praise to You, Who I know to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not only now but forever and ever. Amen.
