Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Reflection

“We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, because by your Cross you have redeemed the world.”
–St. Francis of Assisi

Prayer

Saving Love,

Today, Christians around the world celebrate the significance of the cross upon which Jesus died. A symbol of death has been transformed to a sign of redemptive, salvific love. May we all be inspired to cultivate and practice such a love today. For the sake of others in need, for enemies we do not think deserve it, for those who cannot or will not show a grateful response. Yes for all people today, may we become signs of a love beyond earthly logic. Amen.

Call to Action

What does sacrificial love mean to me and how do I put it into practice? Be thankful today for signs of a love beyond logic.
