During this festival of the Holy Cross, Fr John Brian emphasized the last verses of the opening hymn from the Ma'de'dono (Book of the Church Festivals) in his sermon:
+ + +
By Your Cross everything was made new;
By Your Cross everything was reconciled;
By Your Cross everything was confirmed;
By Your Cross everything was made perfect.
+ + +
Glory to You, O worshipped Son,
Praise be to Your invisible Father,
Thanksgiving to the Holy Spirit.
May Mercy and compassion be upon us
+ + +
