Blessed Feast of the Cross

“Our Lord has lifted up for us His hands on the Cross, and stretched out were His hands for us. And why were His hands stretched out on the Cross? In order that our hands might be stretched out to do good works since it was through His Cross that he has brought us mercy. Behold, He has lifted up His hands, and has offered for us Himself a Sacrifice to God, and through His Sacrifice he has effaced all our sins. Let us also lift up our hands to God in prayer, and our hands being lifted up to God shall not be confounded if they are exercised in good works.”– St. Augustine 

“The Cross is the sign of the salvation performed for us and our common freedom; it is the sign of the goodness of our Lord. When therefore you sign yourself, think of the purpose of the cross and quence anger and all the other passions. When you sign yourself, fill your mind with all courage and make your soul free.” – St. John Chrysostom
