FR TOM WRITES
This year, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross falls on a Sunday and thus takes on special prominence, drawing our attention more keenly to its meaning. On Good Friday, we venerate the Cross in sorrow, recalling Christ’s suffering and death for the world. Today, however, we look upon it with joy, for the Cross—once a symbol of death—has become the sign of Christ’s victory and the path to our salvation. 

FR DAVID WRITES
Today in the liturgy we hear about the Lord who comes to visit his people. The Lord, in the form of three mysterious angels, visits Abraham and Sarah by the oak of Mamre. He promises them that they will have a son. In the Gospel, the Lord Jesus visits Martha and Mary. Martha waits on the Lord and Mary listens. Let us open our own hearts and homes to the presence of God. Let us make him welcome and receive his message in the Gospel. In Christ, God has visited his people. He is ‘God-with-us’ and walks beside us through life.
