FEAST OF THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS

There is no neutrality regarding the Cross

We cannot remain neutral regarding the Cross of Jesus. Either we are with Him or we are against Him. A choice is made before every action, for the actions of a Christian are none other than the testimony of how “God has love us so much that he gave His only Son, Jesus”.

Prayers

Most High glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of my heart.
Grant me an upright faith,
secure hope and perfect charity.
Fill me with understanding and knowledge
that I may fulfill your command. Amen.
(prayer of Saint Francis before the Crucifix of San Damiano)

-
We adore you,
Lord Jesus Christ,
here, and in all your churches
throughout the whole world,
and we bless you,
for by your holy cross you
have redeemed the world.
(Saint Francis of Assisi)
