THE CROSS OF LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus carried his cross

To his death

We must carry our cross

Through life

We must carry our cross

The cross of love

 

The cross of love

Of living in a society

The cross of love

Of living in a world

Who cares

Nothing about me

 

Through it all

We must carry

We must carry

The cross of love

 

We must carry the cross

In caring for our brothers

We must carry the cross

In a world

That cares nothing

About the other

We must carry

We must carry

The cross of love

 

We must carry the cross

Of the dazed and confused

We must carry the cross

Of the lonely and the sexually abused

If not us-who is going to do it

We must carry

We must carry

The cross of love

 

We must carry

The cross of love

To every person

That we meet

If not us

Who is going to do it

We must carry

We must carry

The cross of love

 

We must carry

The cross of love

Ps        “Love is patient-love is kind

             It does not envy-it does not boast

             It is not proud-it is not rude

             It is not self-seeking-it is not easily angered

             It keeps NO RECORD of wrongs

             Love does not delight in evil

             But rejoices with the truth

             It ALWAYS PROTECTS-ALWAYS HOPES

             ALWAYS PERSEVERES

 

             LOVE NEVER FAILS”                         1 Corinthians 13:4-8

 

 

Read it a second time and substitute Jesus’ name for love

Read it a third time and substitute YOUR OWN NAME

Ps        “My sheep listen to my voice

             I know them-and they follow me

 

             I give them eternal life-

             And they shall never perish

             No one can snatch them

             Out of my hand

 

             My Father-who has given them to me

             Is greater than all

             No one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand

             I and the Father are one”                          John 10:27-30

       

            

        

TODAY'S SAINTS=PHILIP AND JAMES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAINTS PHILIP AND JAMES

 

 

Everything that we know

About Philip

Comes from the New Testament

 

He was

Probably a disciple of John

Then began to follow Jesus

 

He also persuaded Nathaniel

To follow Jesus

 

At the feeding of the 5,000

He was concerned

That there was not enough bread and fish

To feed the 5,000

 

After finding Andrew and Peter

Jesus-leaving for Galilee-finds Philip

And says-“Follow me”

 

Philip-in turn-finds Nathaniel ( also called Bartholomew )

And tells him,

“We have found the one

Moses wrote about in the law

And about whom the prophets also wrote

Jesus of Nazareth-the son of Joseph”

 

Nathaniel says,

“Nazareth-can anything good come from there?”

 

Philip responds, “come and see”

 

Philip is believed

To have preached the Gospel in Phyrgia

After Christ’s Resurrection

And usually

Is represented by a cross

Or with loaves of bread

To recall his part

In the feeding of the 5000

 

JAMES THE LESS

 

Another apostle of Jesus

He was the son of Alphaeus

And it is believed

His mother stood at the foot of the cross

As Jesus was crucified

 

He also

May have written

The letter of James

 

It is believed

He was beat to death

With a club

After being sentenced to be stoned

By the Sanhedrin in 62 AD

 

His feast day

Along with the apostle Philip

Is May the 3^rd

HEALING AND FAITH

 

 

 

 

There are millions in this world

Who can heal a broken body

But only one---who can heal

A broken spirit---a broken soul

 

GOD

 

How would you describe healing

I would describe it

As a betterment

Of making one whole again

 

The one element

In ALL the miracles that Jesus did

Was that the person

Had great faith

 

In the 8^th and 9^th chapters

Of Saint Matthew’s Gospel

Matthew tells us about

Some of Jesus’ miracles

 

A centurion comes to Jesus and says,

“My servant lies at home paralyzed

And in terrible suffering”

Jesus says,

“I will go and heal him”

 

And the centurion responds,

“Lord I do not deserve

To have you come under my roof

But just say the word

And my servant will be healed”

 

Jesus becomes astonished and says,

“I tell you the truth

I have not found anyone in Israel

With such great faith…….”

 

Jesus continues,

“Go! It will be done

As you believed it would”

 

And the servant was healed

 

FAITH

 

A ruler came before Jesus, and said,

“My daughter has died

But come and put your hand on her

And she will live”

 

Jesus went to the ruler’s daughter, and said,

“Take her daughter

Your faith has healed you”

 

Many laughed at Jesus

Scoffed at him---mocked

Saying the girl was dead

 

Jesus said,

“Go away---The girl is not dead”                                      Matthew chapter 9

 

FAITH

 

That is

Not so say

That if you are not healed

That you do not have enough faith

 

It just means

That God---Jesus

Might be using you/us in other ways

Maybe using our suffering

As intercessory prayer

Or accepting our  suffering for others

 

THIS IS CALLED REDEMPTIVE SUFFERING

 

The diseases of the body

Are one thing

But the diseases of the soul---the spirit

Are quite another

 

For every million out there

Who can heal a broken body

There is only one

Who can heal a broken soul

 

GOD

 

Dear Lord---we pray

Please heal our broken bodies

If it be your will

 

But more importantly

Heal our broken spirits

Heal our broken souls

 

Of each of us individually

Of each of us collectively

Of our broken society

And our broken world

 

And if we are to carry our suffering

Both physically and spiritually

Please help us to pray like Saint Paul:

 

“Three times

I pleaded with the Lord

To take it from me

But he said to me

 

My grace is sufficient for you

For my power is made perfect

In your weakness”

 

FAITH
