Holy Cross Day

Morning: Psalm 66; Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:11-17

Evening: Psalm 118; Genesis 3:1-15; I Peter 3:17-22

On September 14th, 335, the Emperor Constantine dedicated a shrine on the site where Christ was crucified and buried. A relic was found there that tradition came to believe was the Cross. For 1685 years, the Church has paused on this day to joyfully recall Christ’s suffering and death for the world’s healing. Now, when an ordinary human being lovingly endures suffering to save someone else from suffering, you know something amazing and full of grace has happened. But then, when you discover God loves the world that much, too, a whole new world of possibilities comes into view.
