Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major
Matthew 16:24-28

Carrying our cross is about being there for those who are less fortunate. It is about self-giving love and God’s transforming love. It is about the giving of ourselves for others without counting the cost. It is all about genuine sacrificial love. Christianity is a religion of love and not rules.
