And when the Son of Man be lifted up, He will draw all men unto Himself...Jesus
Today is the feast of the Cross in the Church. The day is for remembering the real and visceral horror that was the Roman execution. It is a day in the midst of Ordinary time to remind ourselves of the price our God paid for our love. The cross is our glory, as Paul said. While we are here in this veil of tears we will struggle on, and with God's merciful help we will have our cross to bear, and with it, we will learn to die to ourselves. And on this day we hold fast to the hope that if we die with Him we will also reign with Him.
