Today's Readings

September 28, 2023
Thoout 17, 1740

Every action of Christ glorifies the Church, but the cross is the glory above all glory...The glory of the cross, by contrast, has enlightened all those who were blinded by ignorance. It has set free all those who were slaves of sin. It has redeemed the whole human race.
Let us glory in the cross of the Savior...
Cyril of Jerusalem
