He suggested that Jesus was put to death in such a humiliating fashion because he overturned the typical religious expectation. Jesus showed that God's love, mercy, and forgiveness were freely available to all people, no matter who they might be. He suggested that the cross we wear can encourage us to love and forgive others despite the consequences. It's a good reason to take up the cross daily!

The anchor cross is also the emblem of Pope Saint Clement I, fourth bishop of Rome, who was tied to an anchor and thrown into the sea by Emperor Trajan in the year 101. Charity unites us to God. There is nothing mean in charity, nothing arrogant. Charity knows no schism, does not rebel, does all things in concord. In charity all the elect of God have been made perfect. Pope St. Clement I PLEASE HELP SUPPORT HOLY FAMILY SCHOOLS BY saving your Hy-Vee receipts and Box Tops for Education and Campbells Soup Labels.
