Today is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you; because by your cross you have redeemed the world. \u2018The world is in flames ... But high above all flames towers the Cross. They cannot consume it. It is the path from earth to heaven. It will lift one who embraces it in faith, love, and hope into the bosom of the Trinity.\u2019 - Edith Stein, September 14, 1939
