The feast of the Triumph of the Cross, also known as the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is commemorated on 14 September. For this feast, Sr Caroline Dale shares a poem.

Jesus, the Light of the world, The Way the Truth and Life.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE CROSS

Heaven and earth reveals
The GLORY of CREATION –
The Triumph of the CROSS.

What a Triumph the wonder
The great Light guides the wanderer – the lost and the searchers.

Humanity weeps – loss and grief and rejoices in salvation.

Christ embodied suffering opening doorways to new-ness and Be-ing
Crying earth, convulses with joy as Jesus confirms COMPASSION AND SALVATION.
