The Feast of the Cross

The Lord invited to bear the Cross and said: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matt. 16:24) (Mark 8:34). And He said to the rich young man: "Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, ...and come, take up the cross, and follow Me" (Mark 10:21).

He made the bearing of the Cross a condition for the discipleship to Him. He said: "And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple" (Luke 14:27). He Himself, during all the period of His Incarnation on earth, lived bearing the Cross.

--His Holiness Pope Shenouda III
