Every Year During Their High Holy Days,

The Cross Is Offensive Because It Directly Confronts The Evils Which Dominate So Much Of This World.

Happy Is The Person Who Has Learned The Secret Of Being Content With Whatever Life Brings Him, And Has Learned To Rejoice In The Simple And Beautiful Things Around Him.

Whatever Affliction Comes In Our Life, Our Lord Goes Into The Valley With Us, Leading Us By The Hand, Even Carrying Us When It Is Necessary.

God Undertook The Most Dramatic Rescue Operation In Cosmic History. He Determined To Save The Human Race From Self-destruction, And He Sent His Son Jesus Christ To Salvage And Redeem Them. The Work Of Man's Redemption Was Accomplished At The Cross.

The Thought Of The Future Life With Its Prerogatives And Joys Helps To Make The Trials Of The Present Seem Light And Transient.
