On September 14th, 2025, we celebrated the Feast of the Elevation of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross. The Cross is not a decoration or mere symbol, but the sign of Christ’s victory over death and the banner of all who confess His Name. It calls us to courage, to faith, and to endurance.

When the world kills martyrs — even in our own time, as we saw with the murder of Charlie Kirk — we are reminded that the Church cannot back down or compromise. The blood of the martyrs waters the faith, and their witness points us back to the Cross, where life conquers death and truth cannot be silenced.
