What do you do when life does not follow your plans or God's answer is not the one you wanted? This focused homily moves from Peter and Jeremiah's honest struggle to Jesus' command to take up the cross. It shows that the cross is not every unpleasant event: it is the shape faithful love takes when love costs something.

Read Jeremiah 20:7–9, Matthew 16:21–27 and Romans 12:1–2.

Homily from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
