“Take Up Your Cross. Don’t Bear It.” by the Rev. Kaji Douša
Following Jesus, you see, means orienting ourselves differently to life. To preserving and protecting life, life for the incarcerated, life for the dispossessed, life for the least of these, life for us all.
And for many? That means a complete reorientation to life. That’s what it means to take up our cross and follow Jesus. It means things can’t stay the same.
