TOTD, September 01

Renunciation

When I went to church yesterday, I was being reminded once more about renunciation (self-denial). The homily was about following Jesus. To become His disciple, one must renounce himself, take up his daily cross and follow Him in His path of faith.
It’s not always easy, many times taking up the cross and renunciation itself are very hard, full of struggles, and sometimes painful.
But, we won’t give up because His faithfulness will be there to see us through and we need to grow in faith by trusting Him more.
Let’s renew our faith today, so that we can become His good disciples.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
--- Matthew 16:24
