Instead the glory of the cross, the cross as a reason for boasting and not for weeping is given pride of place. Let us first say something about the origin of this feast. It recalls two events, distant from each other in time. The first is Constantine’s founding in 325 of two basilicas, one at the site of Golgotha and one over Christ’s sepulcher. The other event, in 628, is the Christians victory over the Persians, which led to the recovery of relics of the cross and their triumphal return to Jerusalem.

Prayer For Fine Weather
All-powerful and ever-living God, we find security in your forgiveness. Give us the fine weather we pray for, so that we may rejoice in your gifts of kindness, and use them always for your glory and our good. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. |Letter of St. James|
