Mark 4:35 On that day, as evening drew on, he said to them, “Let us cross to the other side.”

Those words from https://stpaulcenter.com/audio/sunday-bible-reflections/in-the-storm-scott-hahn-reflects-on-the-twelfth-sunday-in-ordinary-time/
"As with the Apostles, the Lord has asked each of us to cross to the other side, to leave behind our old ways to travel with Him in the little ship of the Church." 

It stroke me that I need to deny myself.

When I sat on the Church and listened to the Gospel, I thought about my beloved mother. She just crossed to the other side.
