September 12  - The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

This feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross reminds us of one of the key aspects of our faith in salvation that was achieved through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. As St Paul says, those Christians who do not believe in the resurrection are to be the most pitied of all people  - because they have forsaken the hope that was won for us in Christ. 

At Magdalene Catholic College we celebrate the presence and devotion of Mary Magdalene at the foot of the cross, at the tomb of Jesus and at the resurrection. 

Can we, in our lives, be a living message of the hope, mercy and forgiveness that comes from faith in Christ and the belief in his death and resurrection?

Prayer:

Lord, may we, like Mary Magdalene, be living witnesses to the saving power of the death and resurrection of Jesus on the Cross.

Amen
