Becoming A Man of the Cross

As Jesus made his way to the Place of the Skull, Roman guards took hold of a passer-by and pressed him into service. Reluctant to participate, Simon, the Cyrenian, helped carry the cross of Christ. Little did Simon know that by the time they would get to Golgotha, the site of the crucifixion, his life would be transformed forever.

Perhaps we, too, may be reluctant to attend this All-Night Retreat and maybe have an encounter with Our Lord. We may want to continue on our own path, living our own lives and enjoying the comforts that currently surround us. The last thing we may want is to be pressed into service and be transformed forever.
