"This Sunday is the Exaltation of the Cross; this feast is a paradox: the 'exaltation' of an instrument of torture and death. Yet the Cross is not just an old piece of wood. For us, it is the sign of God's greatest love. Jesus turned the world's cruelest punishment into the world's greatest promise. That's why we venerate, kiss, and even wear the Cross - it's the sign of God's love story written in flesh and blood.
"St. Francis de Sales saw the Cross not only as a place of suffering, but as a school of love. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Loughran, OSFS, reflected on this feast day and on the importance of bearing our little crosses with patience, humility, and trust.
