It's the emblematic theme of Christian discipleship. Never easy. Always a challenge. Yet certainly essential! Carrying our cross has to do with faithfulness and follow-through. It has to do with the rugged nature of commitment. Come what may, we hang in there because the Lord did so ahead of us. Carrying the cross is the weight, the burden, the blood, sweat, and tears required of something important, particularly as it relates to our holy vocations. It's the consequence of taking a stand, and the sacrifice that faithfulness so often requires. The daily sojourn of Christian life is not a predictable computer program. Rather it requires flexibility, and the willingness to respond to what comes, doing the good that presents itself to be done, in the daily context of our lives. It's not easy for a priest, who is ordained to bring the grace of the sacraments to a community, to have to deal with budgets, contracts, vendors, repairs, staff management, lawsuits, community complaints (founded or unfounded) and personal imperfection when trying to remain spiritual in his focus. It's not easy for a newly married couple, each of whom were used to thinking and living as individuals, but now have to think and live in partnership, and with the give-and -take and flexibility that love requires. It's not easy for mothers and fathers who are doing their best to provide for their children, yet simultaneously have to adjust their relational lives and personal comforts in order to deal with, and worry about, their children's every need, including their safety and welfare.
