Matthew 10:38

And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:38 Go To Matthew 10

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
He that There are two kinds of crosses which our Saviour here commands us to take up: one corporal, and the other spiritual. By the former, he commands us to restrain the unruly appetites of the touch, taste, sight By the other, which is far more worthy our notice, he teaches us to govern the affections of the mind, and restrain all its irregular motions, by humility, tranquillity, modesty, peace Precious indeed in the sight of God, and glorious is that cross, which governs and brings under proper rule the lawless passions of the mind. (St. Augustine)
