I heard a fantastic sermon today on the Cross

It was not given by my PP. A little, almost tiny Benedictine portress told me today that the Cross is always with us. She did a little "street drama" in the receiving room of the monastery. She told me that if we look left, the Cross is there, and she turned to the left. "And, if the Cross is here," she said facing the right, "the Cross is there as well." She put her hands out as well each time. Her face was lit up with the love of Christ.

She continued, "As long as we are with Christ, nothing matters."

One of the best sermons I have ever heard on the Cross in our lives...

God chooses our Cross for us. We cannot escape it, but therein is His Love.
