Reflect on how God is leading you to endure your own crosses. Rather than letting fear deter you, see each trial as a chance to honor God. Embrace them with gratitude and joy, drawing strength to fulfill God's mission for you.

Reflect on the Pharisees' bitter words to comprehend the evil one's strategies as you pursue holiness. Recognize attacks for what they are and remain undeterred in following Christ.

Reflect on Jesus' presence in your life's journey. He comes to you, initially veiled, desiring to reveal Himself fully. Are you attentive to His teaching? Do you follow Him faithfully, allowing Him to guide you to the promises of eternal life?

Reflect on the praise you give and receive. Are you swayed by misguided praise? When you praise others, is it based on God's truth and directed to His glory?

Reflect on the sacred mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Pray for a deeper revelation of God's presence in your life and a greater participation in His divine life, filling you with holy wonder and awe.

Reflect on your faith's depth. Do you remain devoted to God in hardship, even if your crosses persist? Strive for unwavering faith in all circumstances, witnessing its true strength and sustenance.
