We Glory in the Cross: The Tearing of the Temple Veil

April 14, 2020 - The Mass of Holy Tuesday begins with these words, "It behoveth us to glory in the Cross of Jesus Christ." It is appropriate and beneficial that we boast and rejoice in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Immediately following Christ giving up His spirit unto death, the first thing in the Gospel of St. Mark we are told is that the Temple Veil was torn in two. In this reflection, we consider the benefits our Lord Jesus Christ afforded for us in the tearing of the Temple Veil.
