The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Crucifixion by William Willet (from Willet Hauser Architectural Glass. Source.)

"The Exaltation of the Holy Cross . . . should be for all of us the beginning, the content, and the end of the whole year.

"What is the Cross? What does it signify for us and for mankind? Let us breathe in these words from the Greek liturgy for Good Friday:

Today, He who poised the earth upon the waters is poised upon the Cross. He that is King of angels is wreathed with a crown of thorns. . . . The Spouse of the Church is pierced with nails. The son of the Virgin is wounded with a spear."

From Our Founder

Genuine renewal is what CUF is ultimately seeking to further. And genuine renewal is, as Pope Paul has stressed again and again, an inner, personal, moral, and religious renewal; because there can be no genuine renewal in the Church except by the individual response of her members to the universal vocation to holiness. Many of our chapters have begun primarily as groups who come together to deepen their spiritual life and their knowledge of the Church-especially of the documents of Vatican II. It is astonishing how different they are from that cloudy �spirit of Vatican II� which is used so powerfully to undermine the Church.
