This week on Be Not Afraid, Fr. PJ McManus and Fr. Fabian Moncada reflect on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. From the bronze serpent in the desert to Christ lifted high upon the Cross, the readings reveal the mystery of God’s saving love. St. Paul reminds us that Jesus humbled himself, even to death on a cross, and was exalted so that every knee might bend at his name. In the Gospel of John, we hear the heart of the Good News: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” Join us as we explore how the Cross—once an instrument of suffering and shame—has become the sign of victory, salvation, and eternal life.
