feast of the exaltation of the holy cross
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, an ancient feast celebrating the finding of Christ's cross in Jerusalem and the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which, still today houses the sites of Calvary and the burial place of Jesus. As we reflect today on Jesus being "lifted up" on the cross for the redemption of the world, let us celebrate the crosses we lift up, the crosses we take up on our journeys to Calvary, the crosses which become trees of life that transform the crucifixions around us into triumphs of the Easter promise!
Father Paul McDonnell, OSJ
