Reminder for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, September 14, 2025

ByRosemary

Numbers 21:  Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
Philippians 2:  Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, …
John 3:  For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

 


There is no person below us and none above us either. We will be judged both on our respect for others and on our sense of the equality of all.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.  One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
