1) Living the example of Jesus Christ fidelity to
our commitment as religious will lead to the
cross Basil Moreau writes Jesus himself told us that following him is reduced to three
things renouncing ourselves taking up our
cross and walking in his footsteps (Lk 713)
The cross is not merely a possibility in
religious life nor even a probability it is an
inevitability

1) Living the example of Jesus Christ fidelity to
our commitment as religious will lead to the
cross Basil Moreau writes Jesus himself told us that following him is reduced to three
things renouncing ourselves taking up our
cross and walking in his footsteps (Lk 713)
The cross is not merely a possibility in
religious life nor even a probability it is an
inevitability
822019 HC Feast-Sept 15

1) Our experiences of the cross Moreau remindsus are often unannounced and cause us toquestion their object form or timing in ourlife We wonder why me why this or
why now There are no pre-packagedanswers to these questions HoweverMoreau teaches us that to the degree that weembrace the cross in our own life to thatdegree we can provide the perspective offaith to others in ministry and in community

our commitment as religious will lead to the
cross Basil Moreau writes Jesus himself told us that following him is reduced to three
things renouncing ourselves taking up our
cross and walking in his footsteps (Lk 713)
The cross is not merely a possibility in

our commitment as religious will lead to the
