Yesterday was Good Friday as of the time I’m making this video, and so the experience of venerating the cross is still fresh in my mind and as I’ve been thinking about it, I was reminded of the fact that for anyone who does not believe what the Church teaches about the cross and the mystery of God’s atoning sacrifice for us, that must appear, no doubt, to be a morbid fascination on our part.
As a convert to the Church, I’ve had family and friends express their distress at that symbol. I can hear them saying, even if you believe that Jesus died and rose again and that somehow affects you if you believe that, why focus your attention on such a ghastly symbol? Why not direct it towards the nice things Jesus said and did, like healing sick people?
So why do Christians, and especially Catholics consider the cross to be such a profound symbol of what we hold to be of most significant importance when we contemplate our relationship with God?
