the Cross

Part 6: In this sixth entry of a new weekly series on the Sacred Heart, Dr. Robert Stackpole looks at the sort of love for God and man revealed by Christ's Passion and death. (Hint: It's a lot!)

On the Cross (and so in our lesser crosses) is the fount of grace. From the Cross, the blood and water flowed that won our redemption.

Although the message of Divine Mercy is prominent in the teachings of Jesus, and expressed through His works of healing throughout His Galilean ministry, the gospel writers emphasize that it is the Cross and the Resurrection of Jesus, above all, that is the most decisive breakthrough of God's merciful love in this fallen world.

You must give in order to gain. You must die in order to live. You must suffer in order to be free from suffering.

Do you frequently compare yourself to other people? If you want to find peace, try doing this instead.

I believe God never abandons us, even though at times we may not feel His presence.

When the Body of Christ is crucified, the world is saved. 

"May the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary be for us a refuge and protection."

For all you cross-hunters, St. Helen's the saint for you.
