The Exaltation of the Holy Cross The discovery of the True Cross is dated to 14 September 320. On 13th September 335 the churches on Calvary were dedicated and the cross that St. Helena discovered was venerated there the next day. The annual commemoration of that event has been celebrated since, in praise of the redemption won for us by Christ.
A Prayer for our Families
(In preparation for the special meeting (synod) on the christian family to be held in Rome next October and also in 2015)
God and Father of us all
in Jesus, you Son and our Saviour,
you have made us
your sons and daughters
in the family of the Church.
May your grace and love
help our families
in every part of the world
be united to one another
in fidelity to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family
with the aid of your Holy Spirit,
guide all families, especially those most troubled
to be homes of communion and prayer
and to always seek your truth and live in your love
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us.
