SECULAR ORDER OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH 

STUDY GUIDE FOR THE FRIENDS OF THE CROSS by St. Louis De Montfort 

The “Friends of the Cross” was chosen for the formation program because it will help you understand the importance of the Cross to help you die to self and allow Christ to live within you. We suggest that you read each letter and then meditate on it. 

From the study materials and your meditations prepare a 10-minute teaching on any subject area in which the Holy Spirit leads you. 

SUGGESTED SUBJECTS: 

1. You are a Friend of the Cross if you are a true Disciple of Jesus.
2. You can be victorious over Lucifer and his legions and live an empowered life in Christ.
3. Forgiveness and fear go hand in hand. Change now!
4. Will you leave me too?
5. The 3 keys to freedom of Spirit.
6. Fourteen rules to carry your cross.
7. The victory and the effects of the Cross.
8. How the Cross had taught me to die to self and live for Him.
9. Without the Cross there is no resurrection.
