I attended a mass today and I found myself intently
looking at the cross in the altar. It made me think of how many people are
actually wearing the cross and have not fully grasps the meaning of it. The
cross we wear now has become just a fashion.
When the cross becomes but a fashion, the truth of its
brutality is glossed over. Our challenge as Christians is to look at the cross
with the eyes open to the truth that there was a man who was brutally
crucified, humiliated and died a horrifying death. The cost of love is the
cross. Lest we forget, Jesus ransomed us with the cross. He was showing us that
to love is to die on the cross. And, that’s something more than fashion.
When we wear that cross, may we understand the deep
love of Christ for us. Lord, thank you for showing us the way of love through
the cross. Amen.
