Embracing the Cross
The cross is the universal and most recognizable symbol of our Christian faith and our salvation. When we wear or display the cross we are “telling” others that we are followers of Jesus. The cross is also a symbol of the pain and hardship that Jesus endured when he suffered and died on the cross. How does the symbol of the cross help us to embrace its meaning and significance to our lives as Catholic Christians? How can embracing the cross bring us to a better understanding of and bring us closer in our relationship with Jesus?
