Bullet Points for Reflection

  • Two reasons why we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross: 1) To glorify our Father for giving us His Son for our salvation through the cross. 2) To help us understand that God can transform all our personal crosses into something glorious.
  • What was once a horrific and brutal instrument of humiliation, torture, and death, Jesus transformed the cross into a holy and blessed symbol. It was through Jesus on the cross that we were saved and brought to life. The cross now has an exalted and glorified image.
  • Let us embrace our crosses in faith and hope so that our Lord can unite them into His and so that our crosses can also share in the exaltation of Christ’s cross.
