Tomorrow is a day dedicated to
celebration of Holly Cross . A day that celebrates paradox . Cross , for
centuries was a way and weapon of slowly killing worst offenders , and it was a
symbol of shame . A Son of God was crucified on cross . From a symbol of shame
, it became symbol of joy . We do not honor the cross as a weapon that killed
our Lord . We celebrate cross as a weapon that over powered and defeated death
itself . Paradox again . Voluntarily , God chose death , for our sake , so we
could have a chance for life in and within him - eternal life . We do not kiss
and give respect to cross because of its material or shape it is made of . We
honor the cross and we respect it (by kissing) , because in that way we
acknowledge and honor the sacrifice Christ took for us by being killed upon it
, and at the same time we are taking our own cross upon ourselves .
Without any grunting or grief ,
we feel gratitude towards God for all good and all bad that we go trough just
because we choose to be loyal to the Truth .
Cross represents a meeting
(point) of God and Human , Human and Human that is why it has line of vertical
and horizontal bonding .
On a day of veneration of Holly
Cross we fast , as a visible sigh of respect and gratitude to God , a small,
humble , yet deep rooted in hart feat . A cross itself , does not protect us as
a magical symbol , talisman - magic and Christian faith are diametrically
opposed , and have nothing in common .
How ever , God himself protects
us trough cross , but it all has great foundation and base in our Faith and
Love , and his measure in abundance of Love and Mercy . At the times we feel
sad , abandoned over powered by worries , we should keep in our mind that even
God himself went trough same feelings and situations , he himself experienced
the same . We should never forget that God is with us at all the times , even
in worries and difficulties , if all our efforts are justified in nobility ,
love and care .
Veneration of a Holly Cross is a
day dedicated to all of us . We all have and carry our cross .
It would be empowering and
encouraging if we were able to help each other's more often , to carry a burden
on our own strength .
Glory to God on his love and
sacrifice (for us )!
Thanks on life (eternal )
guaranteed ! May we celebrate this day for many years to come !
