The Fierce Love and Tender Mercy of God Upon the Cross

May 3, 2020 - Today we celebrate the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross. Again we are set to remember why St. Paul says in Galatians that we should glory, that is boast and rejoice, in the Cross of Jesus Christ our Lord. As we look upon the Cross we remember two stories in the Old Testament that prefigure the Cross and the ministry of Christ upon the Holy Cross. As we look to them, we see clearly the fierceness of the love of God that wars for us to set us free from our oppressor and forge the path back to Paradise. We also have shown to us His infinite tender mercy being poured out for the healing of our souls.
