At the heart of Great Lent stands the Cross, a beacon of self-emptying love and sacrifice. Our crucified and risen Lord draws all creation to Himself through the Cross, and in His ultimate act of humility and love, He saves us.
As we marked the Sunday of the Cross at the midpoint of Great Lent, we reflected on its profound implications:
What does it mean to deny/disown ourselves, take up our Cross, and follow Christ?
How does the Cross shape our Christian identity and the Church as the living body of Christ?
How is the Cross misused or distorted in today's world?
The Cross is not a symbol of power or dominance, but of self-emptying love and sacrifice. True repentance and self-denial lead us to embody the outpouring of divine mercy—a mercy that heals, restores, and unites.
May we embrace the Cross with faith and humility, allowing Christ’s love to flow through us and into the world.
