Contemplating Our Wounds Through the Lens of the Holy Cross
In this homily, Fr. Luke Meyer, our Pastor, delves into the pervasive awareness of wounds in our modern age—both physical and psychological—and explore the often uncomfortable responses they evoke. We reflect on the contrast between secular approaches to wounds and the transformative power of contemplating the wounds of Jesus on the cross, particularly on the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. This reflection invites us to bring our wounds to Jesus and find healing, wisdom, and hope through His redemptive sacrifice. The practicality of this approach is illustrated through the power of physically holding a crucifix during prayer and a poignant prayer shared by a reformed gangster, John Pridmore, which touches on the unifying and healing power of Christ's wounds.
