The foot of the Cross

April 17

Joy climbed the stairs to a large outdoor cross, knelt and prayed. When she lifted her head she gasped.
There were scores of rosary beads, hair pretties and photos lying about. She said the scene spoke volumes to her.

"We can take everything we need from the cross like; hope, love, grace and salvation. We are invited
to leave at the foot of the cross what we don't need like: worries, fears and our sins. Not hair pretties."

"Come take up the cross, and follow me." (Mark 10:21)
