The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

                              The Alter of the Holy Sepulchre 

Lord, Your Holy Cross been exalted,

The Cross, on which our Lord was crucified, granted us salvation. 

The world considered this to be a disgraceful Cross.

But You brought a immeasurable value to Your Holy Cross

You were crucified like a thief by Jews and Romans.

They were given You vinegar to drink, and they all scoffed and yelled, 'He saved others, but cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down from the crucifixion now, so that we may see and believe.'

Even those who were crucified alongside him mocked him. 

How could I have forgotten the Crosses in my life?

Lord shaped me via these crosses to make me a friend of Jesus. 

Lord told me, 'my Cross is simple to carry, and my burden is light.' 

Lord, I keep your cross imprinted on my heart.

It is carried by the wounds on your body.

I reflect on these mysteries day and night, which are hidden because of the foolishness of this life. 

The Cross made me to humble in front of You and taught me humility to practice

According to the Holy Apostle, the only knowledge to know is Jesus the crucified. 

The message of the cross is folly for those on the road to ruin. 

But for those on the path of salvation, is God’s strength

Lord, and we must only teach the crucified Christ to bring redemption. 

When the Holy Mass begins, the priests make the sign of the cross.

When a priest consecrates the Eucharist, he makes the sign of the Cross. 

When the mass is finished, they make the sign of the Cross. 

They make the sign of Cross when the mass is ended 

The Cross is not the History but for the salvation of all humanity 

It is not easy to carry cross, but yes, those in the Spirit of God

Can anyone reject the cross and it is impossible

But Jesus says, my yoke is easy, for the gentle and humble heart 

Moses made the bronze serpent to save the Israelites

They all looked on the raised serpent in the desert

By looking on it, Lord, you saved them from death

Lord, we also look into your crucifix to get the life in fulness

Lord, your holy Saint Helena found the Holy Cross under the debris of Jerusalem

Along with her all the saints and whole Christianity has praised God 

St Helena found the burial grave of Jesus there,

Where she built a Church the Holy Sepulchre over the Tomb of Jesus 

The most holiest of Christianity  

 

Lord, the Crucifix makes us understand You have died for our salvation

Lord, we praise You, we adore You, we glorify You, by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world
