FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 2025Friday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Saint Dominic, PriestPATHWAYS OF HOPE: “TAKE UP YOUR CROSS”[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 16 : 24 - 28Jesus said to his disciples,"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,take up his cross, and follow me.For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.What profit would there be for one to gain the whole worldand forfeit his life?Or what can one give in exchange for his life?For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,and then he will repay each according to his conduct.Amen, I say to you, there are some standing herewho will not taste deathuntil they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."Reflection by Den Mark Gillesania : Businessman, Pastoral Leader - Servants of the Living God, Ormoc, and Young Professionals Director for Lingkod, Visayas Zone#POHopgiver #LandasngPagasa #catholic #biblereadings #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #love #pray #bible #christianity #prayer #hope #gospel
