The Cross isn’t just a symbol, it’s the ultimate sign of God’s love. This Feast celebrates how something that once stood for pain and suffering now represents triumph, mercy, and new life. Through His sacrifice on the Cross, Jesus transformed the worst act of cruelty into the greatest act of love and mercy the world has ever known.

Today, we exalt the Cross because it reminds us of the boundless love Christ poured out for each of us. Let’s embrace our own crosses, unite them with His, and trust in the power of God to bring life out of death, hope out of suffering.

"For the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." —1 Cor 1:18
