Get into the ring! How this works...

This is easy! Each week on Thursday I post my homily idea...my main focus for preaching this coming Sunday. What I am hoping for is a reaction from people in the pews. Does my "focus" connect with your daily life, faith, and experience? Or not? Either affirm the direction I am going in (by giving me an example from your life) or challenge me, ask for clarification! Questions are the best! Reaction rather than reflection is what I'm looking for here. Don't be afraid, get in the ring. Ole!

Enemies of the Cross of Christ!

Your witness and mine is the manner of our appearance in the world. Would that my life would radiate the cross of Christ! Instead, I fear that it may appear as an enemy of the cross. Hmmm.
His face became dazzling.....he appeared with Moses and Elijah.

I like the combination of terms “radiate” “the cross” of Christ. To those who don’t believe in the Paschal Mystery, those terms may seem to be at odds with one another. But as Christians we can say that way of life is at least our goal, knowing that we don’t always make it – but we keep on trying. It’s the idea of attempting to live out faith – and hope – and love, even when suffering and hardship may be the color of the day.

Hmmm...don't know if I would RECOGNIZE if I am an enemy of the cross ... would need examples.

As far as RADIATING the cross of Christ, appreciate Anon1's description.
