Catholic Mass - The Exaltation of the Holy Cross 14 September 2025 - LIVESTREAM

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Num 21: 4-9 Psalm — Ps 77：1-2, 34-38 Second Reading — Phil 2: 6-11 Gospel Reading — Jn 3: 13-17 Exaltation of the Holy Cross The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross remembers the Cross of Jesus. It has been celebrated by the Church for centuries. The feast began in the 4th century, when the True Cross was found by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine. Tradition says she found the Cross in Jerusalem, where Jesus was crucified. This discovery made a deep impression on Christians and led to honoring the Cross in a special way. The feast celebrates the Cross because it is the symbol of our faith. The Cross shows us how much Jesus loves us. He died on the Cross to save us from our sins. In Christian tradition, the Cross is a sign of hope, even though it was an instrument of death. It reminds us that Jesus turned suffering and death into victory and life. We celebrate this feast on September 14. On this day in the year 335, the Church in Jerusalem dedicated a new church built on the site where Jesus died and rose from the dead. The church was built to honor both His crucifixion and His resurrection. Every year since then, the Church remembers this day and the power of the Cross. The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a time to reflect on what the Cross means to us. It is more than a symbol. It is a reminder of God’s love and mercy. By celebrating this feast, we honor the victory Jesus won for us through His death and resurrection. #Exaltation of the Holy Cross #CatholicMass #14september2025 #LIVESTREAM #HolyCross #Frhenrysiew #Frandrewlin #FrJohnKing #Fr AnthonyHo #CardinalWilliamGoh
