Many Christians think denying themselves is optional or reserved for priests and religious. But Our Lord teaches something very different.
In this lesson, discover what Christ meant when He said:
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
— **Luke 9:23 (Douay–Rheims)
Learn why this command applies to every disciple, what true self-denial means in Catholic teaching, and why Christian mortification is rooted in loving obedience to Christ—not in rejecting God’s gifts or punishing ourselves.
📖 Rooted in Sacred Scripture, the Roman Catechism, the Catechism of St. Pius X, the Baltimore Catechism, and traditional Catholic teaching.
