Exaltation of the Holy Cross
+
Our Lady of Sorrows
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
~ 1 Cor. 1:18 ~
Truly, O Blessed Mother, a sword has pierced your heart.... He died in body through a love greater than anyone had known. She died in spirit through a love unlike any other since His.
~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux ~
Mary stood by the Cross faithfully, watching her Son give His Life for us. Now, she points us to the Cross so that we may obtain the life her Son has won for us. Let her comfort you, teach you, and guide you home!
