Renunciar a si mesmo e tomar a Cruz!

In brief

Bishop Emeritus Diamantino Prata de Carvalho of Campanha stated that following Christ requires people to renounce themselves and take up the cross.

Writing for the CNBB, de Carvalho explained that this requirement runs contrary to the mindset of the world and instead follows the logic of God. He noted that these themes were part of the liturgical and catechetical journey following the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
