15" St Benedict Marfilita Hand Painted Crucifix

"When we know that Jesus is inviting each of us to join HIM at Calvary, the value of the crucifix becomes obvious." When I look at Christ crucified, I don’t see weakness and defeat but “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1: 23–24)—the holy wisdom of divine love. And I hear “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). "The crucifix also tells us that suffering is not something to fear as though it could rob us of the fullness of Christian life. Because Jesus made suffering a servant in the cause of redemption, if received with faith, suffering can unite us to him in a way few things can. Only Jesus crucified can make sense of and give purpose to human suffering."
