Description: becoming like Jesus for the sake of others
“The way of the cross looks like failure. In fact, we could say that Christianity is about how to win by losing, how to let go creatively, how the only real ascent is descent. We need to be more concerned with following Jesus, which he told us to do numerous times, and less with worshipping Jesus—which he never once told us to do” (Richard Rohr).

“In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper in the heart giving strength to weakness courage to fear, hope to despair” (Howard Thurman).
