“If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself.” (Luke 9:23) **Meditation** Jesus does not call us to self-rejection, but to freedom. Letting go is rarely dramatic; it often happens in small, faithful choices. Today, notice what asks for release—control, fear, or resentment. Lent teaches us that surrender is not loss, but space. When we loosen our grip, we discover Christ walking with us, carrying what we no longer need to bear alone.
