When I was in Church this morning, I just felt like I had a"light bulb" moment with this particular reading, especially the last few sentences. For that reason, I thought I would add it to may blog, so it is always there for me to refer back to if I feel I am ever wondering through live doing the wrong thing and not living for Jesus.
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Luke
One day when Jesus was praying alone in the presence of his disciples he put this question to them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' And they answered, 'John the Baptist; others Elijah; and others say one of the ancient prophets come back to life.' But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am? It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' he said. But he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone anything about this. 'The Son of Man,' he said, 'is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.' Then to all he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, that man will save it.'
