Reflect today on what causes you fear and anxiety. If your suffering is something you can change, work to fix it. But if it's a cross you are called to carry, embrace it with love and determination. Don't let the weight of your cross discourage you. The crosses we bear can be transformed into grace. Let courage grow within you, inspired by Jesus' example, as you imitate His sacrificial love.

Today, think about how Jesus gently addresses even the small sins in your life. Major sins must be dealt with firmly, but once they are, focus on being aware of His grace, which helps to prevent smaller sins from growing. This is the path to holiness and true greatness in God's Kingdom.
