Feast of the Exultation 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

God of wisdom and strength,

The cross holds deep meaning—for Christians, it is a sign of your Son’s great love and sacrifice for the salvation of all; for others, it may represent a place of discernment, a moment of decision, a search for the right path. Whatever meaning it holds, we all face crosses in our lives—moments of challenge, uncertainty, or burden. Be our guide as we carry them, so that our choices reflect compassion, justice, and care for our patients, families, communities, and the world. Amen.

Call to Action

What crosses do I carry that may need God’s guidance? Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
