The Exaltation of the Cross

The True Glory and Exaltation of the cross that we celebrate is……..

the victory of life over death, love over hatred, selflessness over selfishness, 

obedience over disobedience, 

and holiness over sin. 


We do not embrace the cross because we love suffering but because of the transformation that takes place through it when we unite our sufferings with those of Christ. 


The Cross of Christ transforms suffering from despair to hope. 

From death to life


Our suffering and cross as painful as it may be does not defeat us when we unite it with the suffering and cross of Christ. 

This is the true glory of the cross of Christ. 

Suffering and death does not defeat us but is transformed into new life. 


Therefore with Christ, We too can glory in my Cross for We am not defeated. 

But are victorious over our suffering and death. 



God Bless 
Fr. Patrick
