Homily Reflection Questions:

“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.” Mt. 10:37-38

When do you recall deliberately readjusting a relationship with a friend or loved one because the relationship conflicted with your decision to be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ?

 How do you describe the current cross you are carrying?

How has the death of this cross brought you to new life?

When do you first recall taking up your cross?
