For whoever will save his life will lose it.
That  we know.
But whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Yes, in our heart of hearts this we know.

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world.
And forfeit his soul.
In the next world.
For what can a man give in return for his soul.

How these words from Mark pierce our soul.
They seem to be the whole truth.
We know that all that matters is really just our soul.
There is no other truth.

But too often we forget.
And our path is earthbound set.

……

If we lose this life
For his sake we will save it
Better to lose
