Mark 8:34-9:1 - 'Anyone who loses his life for my sake will save it.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 459 (in 'Why did the word become flesh?') - Jesus is the model for the Beatitudes and the norm of the new law: “Love one another as I have loved you.” This love implies an effective offering of oneself, after his example (abbreviated)

- 1615 (in 'Marriage in the Lord') - By coming to restore the original order of creation disturbed by sin, he himself gives the strength and grace to live marriage in the new dimension of the Reign of God. It is by following Christ, renouncing themselves, and taking up their crosses that spouses will be able to “receive” the original meaning of marriage and live it with the help of Christ (abbreviated)

- 2544 (in 'Poverty of Heart') - Jesus enjoins his disciples to prefer him to everything and everyone, and bids them “renounce all that [they have]” for his sake and that of the Gospel (abbreviated)
