Come and join us tomorrow at 10.00 a.m. for our celebration of Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary on the eve of Holy Cross Day. All are welcome either in person or on the livestream. The feast reminds us of the triumph of Jesus Christ over evil as he died on the Cross. The Cross was a symbol of utter shame and disgrace in the Roman empire, but Our Lord transformed it into a symbol of triumph and redemption! The poem by Venantius Fortunatus (AD 530-609) sums up the paradox of the Cross:
Faithful Cross, above all other
One and only noble Tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be.
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron,
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
Faithful Cross, above all other
One and only noble Tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be.
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron,
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
