Feast of the Universal Exaltation of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross (Sept. 27/Sept. 14)

 


“The view of the cross breathes courage and casts out fear” - St. Andrew of Crete
“The cross was given to us as a sign on our foreheads, just as Israel was circumcised; for through it we are the faithful and are distinguished from the unbelievers ” - St. John of Damascus
“By the Cross we got rid of enmity and by the Cross we were established in friendship with God. The cross combined people with the face of angels, making their nature alien to any corruptible work and giving them the opportunity to spend an incorruptible life " - St. John Chrysostom
