The Triumph of the Cross
Sunday, September 14th
Sunday, September 14th
The Feast is also an opportunity outside of Holy Week to celebrate the full significance of the victory of the cross over the power of evil, and the triumph of the wisdom of God over the sinfulness of the world.
May this Feast encourage us to honour the glory of the Cross with reverence and devotion as our hope of salvation through Christ’s victory over sin. In the Garden of Eden, the wood of the tree of knowledge of good and evil caused Adam and Eve to sin and brought death into the world. Christ, the second Adam, restored mankind to God’s friendship, promising us resurrection and the glory of heaven. by the tree of the cross.

We adore thee, Christ, and we praise thee,
because by thy holy cross thou has redeemed the world”
