The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Today’s feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and the text from the Gospel passage, “for God so loved the world that He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but have eternal life,” puts us at the very center of our life of faith in Jesus.
We are saved by the cross and resurrection of Jesus, but the realization of that wondrous reality takes us a lifetime to receive.
The profound reality of God’s love in the person of Jesus is our very reason to be as Christians. We are blessed beyond any measure by that love. It is the very cornerstone of our faith in Christ.
