Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

"And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live." Numbers 21:8

"'And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.'

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:14-16

We look upon the crucifix, and when we see Him with our believing eyes we too shall live.

Crucifix by Giotto c.1300; Tempio Malatestiano, Rimini

Feastday: April 4th

"Heresy is from the Greek word meaning 'choice'.... But we are not permitted to believe whatever we choose, nor to choose whatever someone else has believed. We have the Apostles of God as authorities, who did not...choose what they would believe but faithfully transmitted the teachings of Christ. So, even if an angel from heaven should preach otherwise, he shall be called anathema."
St. Isidore pray for us!
