Theme for The Second Sunday in Lent
Confessing Christ means following after him by denying one's self and taking up the cross. One must deny as the greatest good that which is temporal.
Hymn #708
If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
O God, You see that of ourselves we have no strength. By Your mighty power defend us from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
