Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Follow this link for Fr Frank Bird's Living the Word audio reflection of the Sunday readings, 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time: https://livingtheword.org.nz/24th-sunday-feast-of-the-exaltation-of-the-holy-cross/
Have you ever wondered why a symbol so painful — a cross — is central to hope, life, and love?
This Sunday, Living the Word explores a story that reaches back to the wilderness, where a people bitten by serpents found healing—not through avoiding the danger, but by turning to something unexpected. Then, we walk forward to the Cross: humility, sacrifice, and the heart of compassion revealed in Jesus’ life and death.
Join us for a fresh way of seeing the Cross—not just as a relic of sorrow, but a wellspring of mercy, hope, and new life.
