-
Saturday, May 3, 2025Here are some preaching points for the Feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross:- The Cross as a Symbol of Victory – The discovery of the True Cross by St. Helena reminds us that Christ’s death was not defeat but triumph over sin and death. The Cross is our sign of victory.
- Seeking and Finding Christ – Just as St. Helena searched diligently for the Cross, we are called to seek Christ with devotion. When we pursue Him wholeheartedly, we discover the depth of His love.
- The Power of the Cross in Our Lives – The Cross is not just a historical relic—it is a present reality that transforms lives. We are invited to carry our own crosses with faith, trusting in God’s strength.
- Christ’s Sacrifice and Our Redemption – The feast reminds us of the immense price of our salvation. Reflecting on the discovery of the True Cross deepens our gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice.
- Restoration Through the Cross – Finding the True Cross was seen as a sign of renewal for Christianity in Jerusalem. In our own lives, the Cross brings restoration, healing, and renewal of faith.
