Attended Sunday mass today and the priest said something poignant towards the end that brought tears to my eyes. Usually you don’t expect priests to say anything after giving the message of peace before the recessional hymn.
But he said this - Friends, don’t see the cross as just a piece of wood. See it as your refuge in times of struggle, your hope when you feel lost and your inspiration to move forward. The cross proves that not only. Even when there’s evil, the cross reminds us that Jesus’ love can overcome all.
