Wallis: no other way

Friday, May 23, 2014
    Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century
Meditation:
    Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
    Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
    —Matthew 26:38-39 (NIV)
Quotation:
    We have no reason or right to choose another way than the way God chose in Jesus Christ. The cross is both the symbol of our salvation and the pattern of our lives.
