Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

Kick off your day with 5 minutes of faith!

New American Bible (NAB) translation

New Testament:

• Mark 15:33-39

• Luke 9:23

Old Testament:

• Psalm 22

• Wisdom 2:12-20

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

• Paragraph 614

Takeaways:

• The Crucifix can be a reminder of how Jesus died for you and how much He loves you.

• We must deny ourselves out of love for others; this is what it means to be a follower of Christ - a Christian.

• While most of us will never be called to martyrdom, we ARE called to self-deny for the sake of our spouses, children, and neighbors.

• The strength to pick up our cross daily comes from the grace of the sacraments, especially Reconciliation and the Eucharist.

• Every time you see the Crucifix, think of the mercy that God has shown you throughout your life.

• Recite the Jesus Prayer as often as you can: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
