We must always adore Christ - that is at the center of our holy religion. We just die to our self love and offer Him our body, mind and heart. Yet no one can truly adore Christ without adoring His holy Cross. Our love of God is weak because our love of the Cross is weak and our rejection of the Cross all too frequent. Attachment to the world and love of self are so strong in us, that we must unceasingly strive to purify ourselves by fasting, prayer and almsgiving. This is the only way to grow in our love for Jesus. Love of the Cross and death to self-love go together. Like the saints, pray for the desire to suffer something for Him Who has suffered so much for us. Let us constantly bear in mind the sufferings of our Crucified Lord.
