14th September - Exaltation of the Holy Cross
But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world - Galatians 6:14.
The cross is called Christ’s glory; it is saluted as His triumph. We are celebrating the feast of the cross which drove away darkness and brought in the light. As we keep this feast, we are lifted up with the crucified Christ, leaving behind us earth and sin so that we may gain the things above. So great and outstanding a possession is the cross that he who wins it has won a treasure - Saint Andrew of Crete.
