When what looks like Tragedy becomes Triumph.

from Novena Preaching @ Novena Church · host Novena Church

We celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross tomorrow (14th September). At first, the cross looks like a sheer tragedy: Jesus nailed between thieves, mocked, abandoned, and dying in agony. His mother, Mother Mary, stood pale and shaken, just meters away from the cross. But there is something more - the Triumph of the Cross.The cross is life: from death comes new life in Christ. The cross is love: Jesus gave His life out of love for us, and in every Eucharist, He gives us Himself again. The cross is joy: not joy in suffering, but joy in the gift that death has been defected, and in Him, we live forever.Novena Devotion by Fr. Glenn De Cruz, C.Ss.R. (13 September 2024)
