Be who God meant you to be…

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.

St. Catherine of Siena

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Jesus on the cross


“Jesus on the cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God’s love he conquers it, he defeats it with his resurrection. This is the good that Jesus does for us on the throne of the cross.”
