On the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Deacon Pat reflects on Jesus’ challenging words about taking up the cross and losing one’s life for his sake. Drawing on the witness of a surgeon who chose to serve vulnerable children rather than pursue status, the homily shows how real fulfillment comes through self-giving love rather than self-interest. The message is rooted in baptism, where dying and rising with Christ becomes the pattern for Christian living. Listeners are invited to discover that sacrifice for the sake of Christ leads not only to eternal life, but also to deeper joy and purpose here and now.
