1 T HE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS L A EXALTACIÓN DE LA SATNA CRUZ S EPTEMBER 14, DE SEPTIEMBRE DEL 2014

2 Pg. 1 T HE EXALTATION OF THE CROSS The Glory and the Cross When we think of the glory of God, certainly we can imagine the angels and saints in radiant splendor, offering up to God praise and thanksgiving. We can imagine a majestic house of worship bedecked with fine jewels and a towering throne upon which sits the Son of the Most High. This is a fitting image for the glory of Christ our King when he returns again. At the same time, we know that the glory of the Lord means the Lord shows himself for who he really is. We might be surprised what happens in John 13. As Jesus sat with his disciples to share his last supper with them, and he gave himself at that moment in the Eucharist, Judas left to commit his act of betrayal against him. Then immediately after that, Jesus says, now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. How is he glorified? How is he showing to the world who God really is? At that moment, he did not refuse obedience to God the Father. He gave of himself even to the point of experiencing betrayal from those closest to him. Indeed, the hour of his great glory took place on the cross. Stretched out in a horrifying way, Jesus bears witness to his glorifying love, and that of the Father for his children. He loved us and loved us to the end. Is it any wonder then, that we celebrate the Exultation of the Cross this Sunday? - Fr. Christopher Plant, Pastor I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security. - Pope Francis
