Say "So Long" to Self

It's Thursday, and we're nearing the end of the week. Perhaps your week has been good and you are riding a wave of encouragement. Thanks be to God! However, if not, let me encourage you to do something...

Every day, as Catholics, we offer ourselves to the Lord in a morning offering, a commitment to do God's will, to deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow Christ, offering all our faith, prayers, good works and sufferings as fellow cross-bearers with Jesus. Do something today...make a definitive denial and rejection of self, of Satan, and all his pomps and works. Give yourself to Jesus and say "So Long, Self." And let Mercyme help you!
