Simon of Cyrene didn’t seek the cross—he was forced to carry it. Yet in doing so, he encountered Christ in a profound way.
How often do we resist the burdens placed before us? How often do we hesitate when asked to help another? Simon reminds us that sometimes, the crosses we bear—whether our own or those of others—become the very place where we meet Jesus.
Serving others is not just an act of kindness; it is an encounter with Christ. May we embrace both our own crosses and the opportunity to lighten the load for those around us.
