Christ's Cross Abides Forever
he saving serpent
in Moses' time was fashioned from bronze as a symbol of faith in the enduring
effects of the Lord's Passion. Faith in Christ's cross abides forever;
it is as enduring as bronze.
Despite the constant cycle of birth and death, the cross continues to be held high above the earth for the healing of all who gaze upon it.
-- Commentary on Galatians 22
Prayer. How great was your love for us, kind Father! You did not spare your only-begotten Son but surrendered him for the sake of us sinners!
-- Confessions 10, 43
