Sacrifice

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Reflection

“And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.” ~ John 3:14-15

Prayer

Merciful God, it is a central irony of the good news of your Son Jesus that his death on the cross is the root of our new and everlasting life. Open our hearts to the power of his example, that we might grow increasingly open to give of ourselves that others might have life. Bless our efforts and our sacrifices, no matter how small, that they may produce a harvest of justice and life. We offer our prayer through your Son, Jesus. Amen. 

Call to Action
