MAR THOMA SLEEHA SYRO MALABAR CATHEDRAL CHICAGO Issue 37 of 2016, YEAR OF MERCY Why Do We Celebrate the Feast of the Holy Cross? hnip² Ipcn-insâ ]pi-gvn-bpss Xncp-\mÄ September 11, 2016 Sept. 14 In a deeper sense,it's easy to understand that the Cross is special because Christ used it as the instrument of our salvation. But after His Resurrection, why would Christians continue to look to the Cross? Christ Himself offered us the answer: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23). The point of taking up our own cross is not simply self-sacrifice; in doing so, we unite ourselves to the sacrifice of Christ on His Cross. When we participate in the Mass, the Cross is there, too. The "unbloody sacrifice" offered on the altar is the re-presentation of Christ's Sacrifice on the Cross. When we receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we do not simply unite ourselves to Christ; we nail ourselves to the Cross, dying with Christ so that we might rise with Him. For Christians, however, the Cross is the crossroads of history and the Tree of Life. Christianity without the Cross is meaningless: Only by uniting ourselves to Christ's Sacrifice on the Cross can we enter into eternal life. kt m-j- n-sâbpw kam-[m-\- n-sâbpw k¼â kar²n-bp-ssbpw kvt\l- n-sâbpw Bbp-cm-tcm-Ky- n-sâbpw \nd-thm-ss-bpå lrzbw \ndª HmWm-iw-k-IÄ HOLY MASS SCHEDULE SEASON OF ELIJAH-SLEEVA-MOSES Gen-bþÇo-hmþaq-im Imew SUNDAY 8:00 AM HOLY QURBANA - MALAYALAM 9:30 AM HOLY QURBANA - ENGLISH 11:00 AM HOLY QURBANA - MALAYALAM 5:30 PM HOLY QURBANA - MALAYALAM WEEKDAYS & SATURDAY 8:30 AM HOLY QURBANA - MALAYALAM FRIDAY 8:30 AM HOLY QURBANA - MALAYALAM 7:00 PM HOLY QRUBANA - ENG & MAL FIRST FRIDAY 8:30 PM HOLY QURBANA - MALAYALAM 7:00 PM HOLY QURBANA & ADORATION - MAL CONFESSION MONDAY-SATURDAY 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM FRIDAY BEFORE & AFTER 7:00 PM HOLY QURBANA
