Triumph of the Cross
The Cross is a triumph of love over hate and of faith over despair.
All His life Jesus preached love and in the end instead of hating the ones who crucified Him He said “Father forgive them”
- and love triumphed.
While hanging on the Cross Jesus could have lost all hope but instead He said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”
- and faith triumphed.
Today each of us struggles with the crosses in our own lives and we too can choose to make love and faith triumphant in the world.
