Daily Scripture Readings and Meditations: Take up Your Cross Daily and Follow Christ

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word - Luke 9:22-25 - 22 "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised." 23 And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

By Michael Hichborn and Steven Mosher, National Catholic Register - For the past six decades, the agency has been operated on the morally bankrupt principle that the best way to eliminate poverty is to eliminate the children of the poor...

Unfortunately, the article overlooks USAID’s inherent ideological colonization... Even more disqualifying is this: Since its inception, the aid provided by USAID has been tied to population control.
